Earthly time is fine despite Death The eternal dark out of which Shadows creep sparking illusions That hold sway over dreams. I came from darkness To store the burning Light That echoes the yells of creation Toward some demotic destiny. Achievements soothe so little Within the web of eclectic waste We tend to call societies Run by the elite undergrowth Who pay no heed to evergreens. It was only yesterday When i first went to school When i tasted my first cigarette My first beer, first ******* When i wrote my first poem And many things in between Well, out of long list of vices Only cigarettes have survived And they probably will Till my stiff body Touches the cramped coffin. Scoop me up Ursa In your ***** My spirit shall bask Playing heavenly marbles Within the volatile void.
