Larger Than a Universe


"Larger than a Universe" 

Space to be alone
take it, take 
all the space
you want 

silence 
becomes you
inside conducts 
a symphony 

music speaks 
loud and clear
pushes forward
across the table

the keys

to doors 
and foot 
flat to the floor 
driving

targa top gears 
upward shifting 
racing towards 
the stratosphere

you let go 
of the wheel,
and the noise of 
bickering black crows 

swiftly disappear, 
with no place to go
all the little darlings 
murdered

shadows 
become
reflections
in time 

the sun 
pushes 
the clouds
aside

something 
larger
than 
a universe 

takes over the self
takes control
