The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Facets of Harmony

Rain pelts off 'brella leafs
eddies the mushroom mist
and trails through phloem rivulets
until gnarled nectar yields secret spice 
and giants sway whispering 
'mong the clouds and cabala
clandestine strength
in delicate unity
in cense and symbol rising
til lightning flash
and fever burstings
cascading chaos aboiling
ascend the cinder moths
fledge the feathered acrackling 
fallen flesh sulphuring sizzles
maws foaming with greyeyes
sinks into the rivers bloating
silts sparkling with lost mineral
sinew forever relaxes into
the violets of blooming
a rose a lone evanescence
a new dance to call the rain.
