in bloom

Alex TheHueman

Divine the fruit borne the tree of life many search to reap

Their harvest oftentimes succeeds in determent, or benefit
A shame, the wasted potential of the fallen fruit
Decomposing nevertheless
The glutinous roots giggle from the tickle 
of the corpse’s pious essence

Harmony often takes chaotic form 
Imagine the root’s awkward beauty; 
branches stretched
like The Creation of Adam
With the hope of blooming above the 
Chablis clouds

Often drunk from the guise of power 
Philistine stunt growth in the delay of the inevitable rather than face death with unwavering solemnity

Every journey begins with an end in disguise

Immerse in the unknown
Root in the abstract
Float in the grounded

Imagination
The plane I exorcise my weapon of creation and bite the fruit borne of the tree

Like those who came before
I succeed
Like those who came before
I fall
To those who are of nature, she is a kind mother
To those who know the father, he is all

As the roots above so the branches below
