poem 235

 


The stage is set, the characters cast 

and will do as functioned 


Always absence of hand 

no matter how far apart 

or claims your intellect made 

still your existence marked on chart

In conclusion made, a millennia, millennia ago 

How that hand was amused 

How that hand was payed 

How that hand was played 


Still and easily to groom you 

with myths fit for the likes of you 

written in stone 

written in ink 

written on a billboard forever in glow

and written in mirror shinning so darkly 


The stage is set, characters cast 

and will die as functioned 


The tales in child, printed in mind 

The fire bird or a singing fisher man

or street cleaner in mourning 

or titled saint printed in mind 

In conclusion made, a millennia, millennia ago 

No more than dust remains 

No more human than all

No more than finger pricked


Still and easily to groom you

with blood ringing on and on 

Under cold and empty stone

Under empty investigation  

Under clouds above forever in glow 

And under the stars shinning so darkly 


The stage is set, characters cast 

and will sigh as functioned
