Poem

As I gaze upon my shadow, 
it appears to grow a hole 
Just where my heart belongs, 
morphs a void into my soul 
Open to all the elements, 
sunlight shines right through 
split second after a cannonball 
ripped my chest in two 

Give back my innards 
Return this heart to me
Fill this visceral hole 
And leave my body be 

Still I look upon my shadow, 
now appears to sprout wings
emanating from my loins, 
fledge red abstract things 
Open to all the elements, 
thermal winds raise me high
One moment after shrapnel, 
blew my atoms into the sky 

Give back my sinews
Return pink mist to me
Feed off your own evil
Go away leave mine be

Now searching for my shadow, 
it’s gone can’t be seen 
I haven’t got any eyes, 
only contours in between 
No need for rare elements, 
when sublimating the earth 
oh come closer afterlife, 
from my quanta seed rebirth 

Give back my conscious 
Return those eyes to me
Let meaning have a purpose 
And leave my shadow be
