Orphan Ontology (an obituary for father time & mother earth)
swap the snapping turtles for shadow puppets it's Plato's cave all the way down
shimmering hexagonal revelations stream through my Dimethyltryptamine daydream
out of my eyes unfurled the room & then the world was birthed from my womb
faint as a whisper, yet haunting a spectre lingers in the ether heavy charcoal clouds hanging over me
under orange smoke, I pray in dusty days of this drought-stricken Eleusinian mystery where the flowers which you painted in the spring have turned a pale shade of grey disarray
a black hole sun hovers where the superlunary ought to be & i find myself lost with insomnia seeking aletheia on a polar night stumbling around the thorny maze of my own creation in the tattered pair of shoes painted by Vincent van Gogh
in that little ice age Nietzsche's demon spoke the cursed words spelling out my Sisyphean eternal recurrence to carry an acacia cyclops cross sprawled across the breadth of my back crafted by my clumsy hands splintered & ****** as they deserve to be for letting you slip through when my skies were still blue
