hello, stranger
i see we meet again
between book pages
within art hedges
the paths to immortality are
storylines and ballad chimes
i’ll see you in the epigraphs
i’ll read you in the skies
first law of
thermodynamics
no energy created
no energy destroyed
over and over
blood born blood lost
arms carved from fireflies
breath fossils in northern lights
hello, stranger
decaying and beating heart
chubby hands clinging to heaven
or trading final death-cards
the clock ticks to the rhythm of
supernovas far, far away
and prophecies printed on
abandoned beach sands
and you, stranger
walk the plank between the waking
and the beyond
my question to you is
Which direction are you heading?
