In Presence Dwells Absence - A Midnight Manifesto
~in presence dwells absence
dialectic tangle empty mind inscribe
upon cerebral core
edges sculpted troubadour
delicate ghost print under water wane
into the emptiness ether
spectre knot, hand of death
upon fickle heart digress
all the same…
~in absence dwells presence
dare we undo the dark yet done
as it presses under curtain midnight sun
the shimmer on the lake
where dancing, beasts in hunger sway
unlocking clock clutched in bleak winter day
into the morrow, under heavy tread suffocate
lest in absence ever there in presence despair
all the same…
~in presence dwells absence
spectre now, humble muse hunter
the hand trembles though no breeze haunts
it is where less is more
and the moon has yet to shed her song
there is harmony
though the notes are wrong
between darkness and memory
split the night
dispossess the parasite
purge the venom from my skull
and give me proper burial
