The grass
under the moon
grounds a soul
to earth,
charges the flesh
with fire,
synchronizes all signals,
and electrifies
the magnetic poles –
a calm respite
could save the world
tonight.

Scott Thomas Outlar survived both the fire and the flood - now he dances in celebration, waiting on the next round of chaos to arrive. He spends his time reading, researching, taking meditative walks, gazing at the stars, laughing at life's existential nature, and writing prose-fusion poetry dedicated to the Phoenix Generation.
