If there
    is
no way out

No path
    of return

No tunnel
     at the end
of the light

It'll be alright

Just when
    I thought
I was going
    somewhere

I find
    myself
Once more ribless
    to someone who
I thought
    cared

Desoulment

I turn back
    into
One lacking

Resurrected without
a soul
The Memes of the universe flood the quantum continuum.
All conscious beings are bathed in this reservoir of creative energy.
Subatomic particles of Poetry
encrypted in the nature of the creative being.
Here on the front pages of HP
we come to fruition.

To a hammer
everything
looks like a nail

To a writer
everything
looks like a tale

To a hunter
everything
looks like a ****

To a prophet
everything
— unto his will

(The New Room: September, 2024)
i got a paper cut
and i picked at it
until its corpse
become a permanent headstone
on my skin.

you hurt me,
and i picked at it
until it began to scar,
until it began to
tighten the skin.

i will never be able to escape the ache of you.
never be able to revive myself.
or be able to relieve the pain of the skin pulling.

but i will always try to heal it,
even if it is no use.
The city feels unknown,
like I have never known.
I dance with ghosts in this chaos
while swirling,twirling all around .
The people here don’t care for ghosts,
that’s why they feel so lost.
I feel like a stranger here ,
as if I never belonged
Maybe my soul rests at old times ,
where the poets ,spirits ,antiques relied.
I dance while playing poetry ,
cry within this history.
But this time makes me want to know ,
why the poets feel so lost ?
the seizuring digits of a grade school  

calculator, forgotten in a pouch put away

for storage.

as the half man/half butterfly morphosis of a Zen

master disturbs the meditation of his master's,

master.

being cut clear in half with his stick, through the

manicured flatness of sand granules retracing

their distinctive sounds.

while they adhere to its rigidity.
*Mushin means: "no mind" in Zen.
there's a world inside your mind
and it wants you to find
a place for others,
without changing
the bookshelves
the music
or the way that you walk through the door.
It might be the means of replacing
the fear which stops you from living
and giving
and laughing
as yourself.
