Did you disappear into words?
I did and I can
Tell you
It is great.

To not be anymore.
To be
Without a soul
Without a body.

I like being a part of
Words
The void
The abyss
The dark
The emptiness
The nothing

To be without mind and worry
Is my endless dream.
Experimental text.

Zu viel Finsternis in einem dunklen Kern.
Es ist nicht so einfach.
Nicht so schwierig, leicht, schwer.

Nicht verschwinden.
Du willst nicht verschwinden.
Du darfst nicht verschwinden.
Ich darf nicht verschwinden.

Niemandsgesicht, Niemandsgesicht
Du hast es oder siehst es nicht.

Eis zu brechen. Eis zu sprechen.
Das Wort ist Eis in deinem Mund.
Es liegt wie Eis in meinem Ohr.

Translation:
Too much darkness in a black core.
It´s not that easy.
Not so hard, light, heavy.

Don´t disappear.
You don´t want to disappear.
You must not disappear.
I must not disappear.

Nobodyface, nobodyface,
You have it or you don´t see it.

Breaking ice. Speaking ice.
The word is ice in your mouth.
It is ice in my ear.

Sometimes the sun feels just like a lover
Warm kisses on shoulders and checks
Playing with shadow on skin, warm and cold
So cold, disappearing under a cloud

   --- Magi
So many years ago I once said to a friend 'sometimes the sun feels just like a lover' he said how poetic; that seed was planted in my brain. 35 years later this is what spouted My words came out in a flood, poem after poem. I do not consider myself a poet or a writer

~
cracked compass
burning atlas
no sense of direction
on a drive about
the silent forests of the heart
egressing from the shadows
that hunt for us

foot caught on the accelerator
passing escapism's plateau
like a dissolving shelf of flashbacks
kept in a glass jar
it's normal to tire out
wondering who will it be
looking in the window?

the people at the wheel
are not on the payroll
they're pierced and sheer
on the surface
but their deepest parts
still inhabit bone
and slave for mere feldspar
once again human thoughts
turn to crystalline
and still they shine for us

signs are posted:
"a time for vanishing, lay it to rest"
until the unfamiliar sound
of the walls of Jericho
collapsing
breaks the momentum
quiets the traffic

we entered a promise land
on cruise control
with too many exits
and not enough things to see
we did not end up
where we thought we'd be
those eyes at dusk
in the rearview mirror
they hunt for us
they wait for sleep

~
Humanity is swiftly disappearing from the map.

Before disappearing
They make sure to say "we are friends"

the hottest day on record—
Antarctic meltdown

my biggest fantasies involve
playing magician and assistant
make myself disappear into thin air
without an onlooking audience
to wonder why or how
explanations withheld
run off to nowhere
only to realize
nobody is chasing me
and the only thing
i am running away from
is myself
wanted to call this "drapetomania" but felt like it could be insensitive, so for now it's "untitled #3" until i find a more suitable title (edit: finally changed the title!)

Hey.
If you're reading this,
Which you shouldn't be,
I just wanted to say,
You don't need me.
I really want to write more but I should try limiting the words and see where that brings me ahhhhhh I will write another poem that continues this but this will be set aside as the paragraph that should be said for the trials of the Voice Acting in the project that I will be opening in October.
