In Presence Dwells Absence - A Midnight Manifesto

~in presence dwells absence dialectic tangle empty mind inscribe upon cerebral core edges sculpted troubadour delicate ghost print under water wane into the emptiness ether spectre knot, hand of death upon fickle heart digress all the same… ~in absence dwells presence dare we undo the dark yet done as it presses under curtain midnight sun the shimmer on the lake where dancing, beasts in hunger sway unlocking clock clutched in bleak winter day into the morrow, under heavy tread suffocate lest in absence ever there in presence despair all the same… ~in presence dwells absence spectre now, humble muse hunter the hand trembles though no breeze haunts it is where less is more and the moon has yet to shed her song there is harmony though the notes are wrong between darkness and memory split the night dispossess the parasite purge the venom from my skull and give me proper burial
