My soul is an animation,
flickering on the screen
briefly
before falling between
the cracks and crackles
of light and color
and movement.
I see between the cracks,
between the pauses.
Death smiles up -
a comfort I could not
expect so early.
Come to me,sweetness,
and explain the rest...
No rest.
My soul appears
to shine through life,
smiling and whole
and loving
for moments like these.
Oh, lift me up -
I am dying -
every heartbeat,
every warm embrace...
There is no joy
left in this wide world -
no truth, no fear
of fabled fantasies
in my sensational, animated,
excrement of existence -
hand-delivered by devils
esp
Was just a painting -
splashes of color
put to a wide
empty canvas -
not particularly
special
but what do I know?
with my tired eyes
and yet...
The dinosaur
was a child,
wobbling on
a mountaintop -
short legs
not meant
to climb
and yet...
attainment!
Looking out
over a valley
where a gloomy
ice age had begun
to creep, to devour...
All alone,
one of a kind,
crying out...
tears of a kind
in my mind
fell from
that cliff...
Give the reptile
a human voice
and there
you have Man.
We cry out
for many things-
for hope,
for home,
for life
and for love
to whom
or what
for whatever
our tired eyes
may covet.
A lonesome dream
has come to me -
cold silver moon
like lover's eyes
and winter's beach
with glistening sand,
reflecting icy Paradise...
(making plans...)
My footfall held
up by the sand -
I've tossed away
my wedding band...
(long ago...)
And it is no
surprise to me -
No scent of brine
upon the sea.
Oh, let me try
as humans may
to sense the
feeling of decay...
(I am leaving this world...)
I choose the sand
for marraige bed.
The blue-green waters
reach the shore.
I close my eyes
and wait for spring
and lay there
till I am no more...
(dying)
No feeling left
in human limbs-
I float in tangled
green weed
