Among the billions of people Living in this Empty world, I am singular-- Isolated. The skies are polluted by City lights, Would-be stars, If only the world would let them be so. For a landscape so luminescent, This oil painting portrait reality Is rather opaque And lifeless-- A mere lack of sensation. We swim in milky nothingness, A blind man's iris, Brined in its tears And then drowned.

The Constellation Unseen
Among the billions of people Living in this Empty world, I am singular-- Isolated. The skies are polluted by City lights, Would-be stars, If only the world would let them be so. For a landscape so luminescent, This oil painting portrait reality Is rather opaque And lifeless-- A mere lack of sensation. We swim in milky nothingness, A blind man's iris, Brined in its tears And then drowned.
