Noumenon

Noumenon

         silence is the mother of wisdom
         close and warm polished and strong
         within that wet darkness
         a harsh metal bloom is born
         spiral vapors churn around it
         how to even think
         about what cannot be in thought
         ascribed as real or not

         the chain becomes a mirror
         slow motion rain slides down the glass
         I've lost my place
         crossed out miles of tangled verse
         "thing in itself"
         unknown         pure        irrelevant
         trapped before and after the narrow now
         no descent into description
         can shape your perfect skies
         no simple hope or fear
         will dim your gentle eyes
