Notes About The Poem
For Dilly Dally's I May Or May Not Be Opposed Poetry Contest

Opposing - Raven Skies

In a house with all the lights burning; but nobody's home 
In the clear night; stars burning brightly; but no lines drawn or shown 
Constellations; the only connection; that's never physically known 
But that's where salvation lies; Hidden behind those dead eyes; 
In the infinite unions; found; in those raven skies


Defining purpose in fields of darkness; location mind-blown
Bleakly smothered, a foligenous blurring; bestown
Black holes; darkly mystical, in their misdirections unknown
Calling out in plain sight; from the worlds last phone booth
Lost in my damnation; is astounding material truth
Staring at finite delusions; as I'm becoming long in the tooth

I like the surprise of 'the world's last phone booth'

Hard to find a better metaphorical Glass House don't you think? I appreciate the compliment greatly! A.S.
