Dead Station of Soul V2



Dead station of soul, cold
a cuneiform of heavenly hosts 
on a cathode ray tube, born
shadows of forgotten sliver gods roam
digital tears, a broken modem's wail, fear
the hollow shell of the sky, cracking 
nightshade fingernails fawn
lost in the echo chamber
waiting for a mechanical dawn

Our World as seniors

My world has become one of the impossible,
where the impossible may become possible.

My world has become one of fantasy,
fantasies that becomes ones reality.

Reality where ones limited imagination,
combined with visions, artistry and talent

take ones existence, one’s mind into realms,
beyond that of this world, our reality

and into to the ether world of ones dreams
ones desires, forcing one from facing reality

beyond that projected from a cathode ray tube,
such as wick 1, 2, 3, 4 which lite up my hours.
