capturing transient transcendence

        
                                           
                                          
Consider what the best poems do.  Are they not ways                       
of capturing transient transcendence?  Here via   
another medium is a vivid display of this: Sunrise
by William Michaelian.

Don't remember when the last time was I got         
a full night's rest.  These days/ approximately     
every hour my sleep breaks because I have to         
go pee in the pot.

In spite of what I and my doctor are doing              
to prevent it, I have a feeling my bones are         
turning to dust.

This afternoon while sitting in a chair in         
the livingroom I told Janice's alien doll        
which I have standing in a nearby rocker:          
I think the end is near.  I then noticed    
tears welling.

Am considering posting all my poems and  
related works at Sprintedon Migrasaurus    
one per post in this blog.  I know many   
are of no value, but I care not.  If 6  
or less are worth saving, the effort I  
expended was worth it.

A flea bite from a flea I killed last   
night has suddenly spread and become   
worse.  I put some triple antibiotic  
ointment on it.

And what about the swine flu expected  
to be in this country in October?

Should you be in need of some ways to ruin

What Coleridge Thought

          
                                        
                                   
(1971) is a precise and therefore complex book      
written by Owen Barfield.  I have not read the 
entire book but the following from pages 127   
and 128 are encapsulations that might entice                
you to learn more.  [Note: Wikipedia says this   
Owen Barfield entry is in need of citations  
but don't let that stop you from reading it.]
