UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF NEAR VOID
UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF
NEAR VOID
Unbearable darkness of near
Void
when my Heart sits indigo
at the back of my throat
I see no endearing
vacant eyes of guides
grit in joints scream
generational curse
which stubbornly brick
build a house faraway
as mental escape into
limbs to twine around
clean waves caught
on deserted beaches
humans trying to prepare
for something they seek
somewhere in a future
at the tip of a nose
penning Zen water time
So strange this time of change
when we know we cannot
evade justice of timespace
flames of distant dissolution
Galactic Sun calling us to
surrender to its melting
we wonder about other
hands or lashes or meals
listening to Seven Sisters
where comrades pour
gentle wisdom edged
finger tips touching our
cheeks and hair silent
Voices falsely echo
performance plans or
contact counties for
plumbing permissions
make no sense in
coffee cup thoughts
Who are we to question
footsteps in caverns or
in government corridors
corruption or thanksgiving
when these reflect minutes
and themes we passed
some time ago ?
Why do we re-read
lessons for another
like threshing corn
again and again for
bread which is not
for our cutting board
to tolerate their viral
pain in our own swollen
fingers reconfiguring cells
to silence love aching
fluid which will not move
to sleep away until
another wakes
Oh ! Darkness of near
Void
swallow mind, toes, wind
tick every crumb and crime
as love sickles time moving
standing still messaging
Shaka Zulu and his impis
watch resting guarding
a foundation slab hastily
laid as hide and seek
a usual ostrich trick
surfing experiences
God patient nods
“Wait” what else
I ask to sleep in
Darkness of near
Void
cannot instead
caress Awake
as profiles become
particles picnicking
my constancy
