Free fall
Winds slice
The angel that descends
The astronaut come-home
The parachute nosedive
A naked soul
That remains only
In no mans land

The silence floods the stream of consciousness
Tiny bubbles wash up sea foam
Into an ocean of nothingness where poet
Alone and at peace from adornment
Swims in their own faith.
It enters their eyes
Down to their bones
Vast, with no direction.
Ocean’s waves approach
Selling stories of past voyages
While poet empty’s their travels
Into faith
Hoping that one day
They’ll meet the sun.

The bottle says nothing
Just fills with emptiness,
An emptiness it will never understand.
The echoes receding to
Their century
Though never centered.
It is who am I,
It is who I am.

These condolences
Are house paintings
Oil brushed and
Hung on the wall
Of a burning
Memory
Set aflame.
On a wooden cross
Slow embers
Evoke
Rejoice.
If there is reincarnation
It is in the weight
Of the bones
Where snow readies a
Cushion.

When the words will reach,
Will speak,
What voice will ring?
The voice of the hidden
Who dedicate themselves
To hiding in plain sight
Making their home
In other people,
Their lives
Of other lives.
The voice of the warhead
Who battles for pride
Though
No one is proud
Nor the victor
Victorious,
But held with self-doubt.
The voice of the mute -
Selective of course.
Reminding others that the
Silence they bare
Seeks to scold them.
The voice of the
Starving child, overfed
With humility. The one
Whose nibbles were not enough
To break the chains round
His ankles, rather those
Pearly whites of his, once
Replaced by yellow commodities.
The voice of the Concubine
Whose lust has been traded for more lust
Whose dresswear daily resembles
Peace by piece, bit and bit,
Her master, whose love of himself
So great, he seeks himself in her.
The voice of the somnambulist
Who is weary of dance
And game.
Who if awoken
In the middle of his act
Will not know it.

Lying empty
In this pile of rocks
The soul
Pounds up the rocks,
Not yet disgracing
The sun’s embrace,
Shortly preceding
the downbeat of Life.
What distance is
Drawn
From boiling blood?
Whose verdict
Made me
To spill
And to stain
The victim’s grasp?

The night gobbles
My mind
Convincing me of
Who cannot be fiend,
But how can they not?
They that stare from windows
They lying in open discussion
With legs spread apart
They whence
Committing crimes.
At dawn we eavesdrop
On bedroom secrets,
Someone's prayers
As they kneel.
There is longing
In the caressing of sheets
Viewing dim light
Slow
Breath.
Wood creaks
Another has
Left with
Your silence.

We build empty temples
Called Individuals,
Relation bondages that though not accessed,
Still access you and build your temples
False fallible structures
That hold this concept in space,
But we cannot find
Place here
So we create
One
In art
What’s more
We are
Each of us becoming
The lives
We live
Where
Self is only
The extension of this poem.

Here we are again
The war it’s always been
And though we’ve always tried
Though we’ve always sinned
We’ll come back alive.
We’ll be back to win.
Well here we are again
A battle for pride
Through which
No one is proud
Nor the victor
Victorious,
But held with self-doubt.
And here we are again
The war it’ll always be
I’m getting tired now
Flesh and bone you’ll see
Oh so tired now
Don’t be thin as me.
Cause here we are again
The day that wouldn’t end
Said ‘You’ll come back to life’
‘You’ll come back as kin.’

For reasons
More obvious than love
There’s a beauty
To forgetfulness
As we fuss
Infinity now.
That at any moment
Someone might
Call my bluff
There’s a beauty
To forgetfulness.
For man gets caught up
In his existence
But it is enough for
Man to be
Told
‘I exist too.’
There’s a beauty
To forgetfulness
But you didn’t
Call my bluff
And neither will
I.
