what is left of me, but a better solution?
failed generations of egos
tripping toward christ
with unending cries
ripping entire beings from their hearts
rising from unspeakable horrors
the many selves unravel

targeting a double madness
crying in the shadows
from poisons raining atrocities, an
echoing, bystander’s true oblivion

i’m wrapped in a body that moves
some gesture of meteor
an Achilles' heel, hisses of love
that i am capable of knowing
leaning toward the roots of a tree
that is standing upwards
which time forgot

which in man’s upright position
is no longer present
feelings are dragging me back like
a lion with its prey…
stretching me out unto the mighty comics
i become one with everything…
where branches reach out to the earth
like an instinctive clairvoyant vision
i feel earth with my mind
and know of our permenant relationship

i stare at that relationship, like a visitor in a home
where thoughts process inner mirrors
world springs, wave moments like hues
running together….
like spiritual beings

ego lets go of me and i fall
floating, floating with horses and clouds
becoming discharged on an echo
i am a thought on a Grecian threshold
where gods invent fire songs
angels give me wings

i am a hologram of consciences ness
copulating events within a larger scale
balanced & golden
with a time, where reeds of the sea, stand still
for a moment, where sensations come and go
feeling a great thickness…
disembodied from the mind by a natural process
ignorant of the past or future
i am a january graveyard

"i feel earth with my mind
and know of our permenant relationship"

The entire poem is strong, so to chose two lines seems like an insult to the rest...yet these two hit close to home, at least the house of my own mind, so I had to put them in quotes...


A very tight ending, to the point, it spells the end of the poem, like a piano falling on your head from a second floor window..
