orbit around
ideas
once held
close
in past selves
rhetoric
bathed
in clichéd
visual
representation
burnished
impulse
strengthened
by the
the wilderness
of
inner life
needs
posited
by visual
language
unmoored
from contexts
vagueness
&amorphous
abstraction
fervency
erased
spring up
distilled
of some
essence
circumvented
in
narcissistic
grafting
of self
in the tangible
permanence
of durable
words
hush
a still quietude
of
whispers
this
absence of sound
muted
soundless
unspoken thoughts
in
a noiseless
vacuum
a wordless
world
of empty
tranquility
cocooned
with
intangible
trancendence
a lifeless
void
in
a
taciturn
reticence
of
loquacity
ABSTRACTED
an elegant
obsession
transformed
from the absence
of light
beyond black
a
created complex
of smoothness
in
surfaces
absorbed
by
reflected light
so
hard to exploit
a
fascination
with luminosity's
potential
to create
to juxtapose
&
overwhelm
in swathes
of
the
normal
such
a
duality
of
the
delicate shadowed
then
merge
to
a free rein
in
interpretation
of
notions
Abstracted Naught
David J Walker
As soon as they left
You head
The limpid thoughts
Headed south
The words that parted
Your lips
passed you mouth
In ways not meant for
Distracted thought
But still slipped
into the
Abstracted naught
Of something you wished
you’d never thought
Especially wished
you’d never said

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2020
hushed and listening
quiet and peaceful and still
talkative chatty
