Motion is Relative

Wave
Version: “Under the Wave off Kanagawa,” Hokusai
Race toward the Western rim and the sun will rise again ;
Faster :   gravity and day will fall behind the raw night
Comprised of billions of bygone days darkened by distance—
Circadian clocks tick to the calculus of motion .
The earth with debonair tilt waltzes the changeable moon,
Unsettled in unbalance from an impingent outset ;
Day & night, and the wheel of the seasons offer context .
The grand, seeming quietness of galaxies swirl in space–
Time, the fabric unfurled quicker and quicker by darkness
From a quantum source of infinite turmoil, uncertain .
Meaning exists in eddies at the edges of chaos
Where sentience manages to emerge from the looking–glass
Particles, a floodplain stasis after a white–water
Onslaught from a furious spring into cosmic offshoots .
InumePass
Version :  Kōshū inume–tōge [ circa 1830–32 ] Hokusai

Quickest horse out of the gate,
Quite north of leaden,

Red Panda

RedPanda

Waddling down from the
Temperate firs netted with
Red-brown moss, the red
Bear-cat outfoxes the snow
Leopard tracking the cuteness .

From foothill forests
Of the himalayan range,
Pandas eat bamboo,
The reason for the false thumb :
Convergent evolution,

Like giant pandas
Of no close relationship ;
Just the same food source .
The himalayan mountains
Plowed by crashing india,

Tall as gravity
Allows :   a postcard bleakness
Frames the red panda,
A musteloid related
To weasels, skunks and raccoons .

It twitters and tweets
At dusk and into the night,
Cleaning like a cat
Before marking on patrol .
A cornered firefox stands tall .

Harvest roots plunge into the underworld .

Thresh grain after rain,
Shuck from stalks and leaves, the sheeves :
Persephone freed .

Psalms chanted ;  palms open :   poem granted .

Revolution

Zillions of minions smelling of garlic and onions
Strongly stood in charge of wrongly directed barges,
Boxcar railers, and semi-tractor trailers :   commerce
Dispersed with slippery trickery underfoot, cursed
At every venture, all workers indentured, journeys
Of sorrow for all foreseeable morrows yet to come ;
The blue-green Earth of hadean birth, small and fallen
To swarms of mechanized machinators intent
On iron-fisted massacres of left-listed heart-
Bleeders .   One zero-to-infinity hero beyond
The most probable ego-stopping seeds sown within
By the brutal blows peeping into her steel-trap soul ;
Until those eyes are blinded by a lioness–minded
Girl who infiltrates the ingrates waiting insouciant
For the holdout nuisance to totalitarian
Trumpets sounding a fanfare forever .   For a counter
Movement grows exponential even before the snow
Of ash settles from an apoplectic pyrotechnic
Hub crumpling wrought by the mettle of a martyr—
A revolution starter—gone but strong in the new order .

The world in perpetuity,
Bounding out of bounds,
Swirling down .

Involution
Nearing the center of mandala,
A forgetting of phenomena
Veering down a staircase .
