Posted on December 3, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

Derailed mind in need of calm and respite against the Sky Rafts ongoing collapse amidst rot, infighting and jungle intrusions. I left to the mountain peaks and deep forests, unable to return to a normal life. A clearing overlooked the … Continue reading →

Forest (Fragments)

Posted on November 30, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

Sometimes it’s visible. Sometimes obscured by cloud. It all depends on the wind. It’s how the forest moves. If the clouds clear it’s a sublime vision. ~~~ A vast cluster of roots dangle in the azure. Roosting birds rest tired … Continue reading →

Sky Raft (Poems and Fragments) (Set III)

Posted on November 26, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

They remained on the edges, sitting and standing. Their heads would tilt, and then re-tilt as they looked at the lights and the people, running along the gangways, disappearing and reappearing in leafen layers. Amongst themselves they would exchange clicks … Continue reading →

Its About That Time (Fragments)

Posted on November 23, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

3:18 am blinks on the alarm clock. It’s about that time. When night tide recedes and morning tide rolls in. When everything is covered in a thin, translucent haze. The difference between sleep and wake is negligible. Abstraction bleeds into … Continue reading →

Sky Raft (Poems and Fragments) (Set II)

Posted on November 19, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

Humans of sticks and mud aimless hollow gazes ~~~ It’s the same every time. The sick, the weak, the infirm. Unable to reach the higher ground, dragged away by the deinonychus into the forest. The screams reverberate, suddenly suppressed by … Continue reading →

Sky Raft (Poems and Fragments)

Posted on November 16, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

They pulled back. Left to build something. A retreat to the forest and mountains, the genesis of the Sky Raft. The way its light glowed, the settlement appeared to levitate, rising from the ground, into the trees and into the … Continue reading →

“Do it. Help me to find him. Or I’ll turn you in.” “…” “You’ll be arre – ” “Arrest me? Been doing that for 15 years. Nothin’ but charred corpses and shredded hulls.” ~~~ We all like to pretend there’s … Continue reading →

Celestial Wire (Poems and Fragments)

Posted on November 5, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

A series of train lines. Stretching to the outer rim. Crossing two star systems. Built before the age of star freighters. Now outdated. Some tracks were shut down, others lost to the incalculable dimensions of space. There’s still one operational … Continue reading →

Bounty Hunter (Fragments) (Set II)

Posted on November 2, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

It’s not like a bounty hunter can’t work for the “officials”. Even though our existence is prohibited, if one is willing to bring in the “right” persons, toleration changes to adulation. In secret of course. “Officials” get their guys, take … Continue reading →

Bounty Hunter (Fragments)

Posted on October 22, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

The creed (my own creation – to which I adhere): 1) Only catch criminals (Its ethical…ish and nobody really cares if a criminal dies – lack of collateral damage is a good thing.) 2) Only deliver bounties to other criminals … Continue reading →
