Alien by their show, their living forms
but flower, arrived by night.  They
with walking, cold with thought
nor vague emptiness, nor mind noise
to lose the way.  The last place
with place the cause, an ending
watery on a stinking rock.

Were not welcome, pale
begining shadowed, ending lost.
Less love staled, starving on,
shrinking into old, forgotten dark
and there to form reform
and stamp individual.
Nor ever common, but molecular
passing over the hot and cold.
Nor smiling, but in dust.

Stark, shocked,
incarnate shadows, dark force,
and very old.  Here
builds reality.  See
stagnant and familiar ennui.
And so to conclude:
the definition of life
is death.

ANNOUNCING! my novel COOL UNIVERSE is now posted
in the prose forum.  Enjoy!

Thank you very much. This is very bleak, not what I'm thinking now.

passing shadows -- thank you very much.

QJQ -- thank you, I always appreciate replies.

Kahlil -- what is our purpose? I don't think I'm really qualified for that, but I'm hoping we make our own, individually. I don't really know what this poem means. Thank you.
