Listen to poem:
comprehension lingers just outside the frame
I'm conscious I linger just inside
meaning cannot be construed
by looking at the linear
piece by piece connected
time
to occupied space
to empty space
I hover in the centre
backdrop screams of chaos and order
if you tear off the corners
I still stand framed
I am present here
yet exist in just this space
just this time
the hatchings of interconnectivity
unbroken should I cease to be
everything can meld and fit
heal over
forever stands a space flickering
between occupation and emptiness
faster than the eye can see
the abstract slowed it down
where the mind tries to comprehend a blur
make sense of how we fill a space
maybe I fall into slumber
or through the door to somewhere
I can't forever be between
the clock and the bed
not now I am aware
the darkness congests
the surroundings to taint my space
but beyond that
colour and texture
I'll stand still for now
take it all in
