Zero.
By which nothing is divided.
No zero

no knowledge
no God, no soul, no ear lobe, no Iliad, no Odyssey.
No universe
no black hole
no zodiac
no hero
no mission, no...

soaring out the cavern measureless to man,
that...

Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,
I knew you back then 
Where sea breezes begin
And...

God said: “Go, and have dominion over the Earth”—
Not over each other.
But you crowned yourselves kings of skin,
Painted whiteness as wisdom,
And turned melanin into a mark of sin.

You called yourself the center of the world,

He’s seen off that crazy-haired fella
With boxes to dump
Of votes ticked for Trump
He simply can’t move in his cellar.

cosmic harmonies have been sought
in the vast eternal motion
of the grand galactic ocean.

To some the twinkling sky inspires

But if those serenades occur
it’s just as if they never were,
since...

Are more than satisfied
By your beautiful eyes.

Odysseus and Helen’s sublime face.
The war between two cities, 
And a...

Inside this cave, my refuge, nave
I bend and stretch and breath, 
to find myself among the ruins 
of ancient places, faces, and history. 

Although I strive to change the tide
of my own motivations,

Philosopher, they call me,
Following Pythagoras* of old,
A friend of wisdom it means and
Nothing more.

For years philosophy’s principles
I tried to understand and
For decades her ethics strived
To apply.

Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Heraclitus
My subjects were,
Thus
Faithfully myself devoted to
Their teaching
With

then the dream weaver gave us illusion to be smitten.
