We exist in space and time
invisible, unseen for who we
truly are exchanging
words for thoughts
never face-to-face
but touching just the same
vitriol tossed with the sweetness
fair barter for some form
of kind heaven exchanging
inclement weather
to the vestries of
each others’
netherworlds
divesting
tar and feathers
Candide Diderot. ‘24

Storms ultimate volcanic eruptions catastrophes
awakening cast me into netherworlds
unreachable disconnected oracular wasting
where each shadow feasts on substance
aquiering vast amounts of deep blood

Placid surface
looking glass
still water
Silence but for the cries of ducks
silverfish
minuscule reflections
of an almighty orb
casting its omnipresent being
onto rippling water
Undulations
varying patterns
splintering the smoothness
heartbeats of water
Boatman
ferryman -
a carrier of souls
across Styx
deep water
A pathway to netherworlds
rough water

Like speck of dust from celestial ceilings, I cling
To evaporated water molecules rising, singing into the sky, vacuous regions
Netherworlds have seen me clawing my way OUT
But still I remain invisible to your naked eye
Naked and seen through like space that was meant to be filled but
Remains, EMPTY.
I do not mean to scream, but I can not be heard either, sometimes
The feelings don't get to me and I wonder to myself if I am here at all?
The time knowing that if I paint pictures no one will gogh for it
It isn't visible, it isn't something they can strike DOWN
As long as they remain adjunct to it, in their dimension
AND they forgive me for hiding alongside it.
Invisible
