Incantations
Psalms of syntax
Sonnets of dust
Stanzas of the night
Travelers by night, Nocturnes.
Silence.
“Silence, the words ever-moving into foolishness
Fading. The silence prolonged, so secretive of thought”
The Silence Falls.
Love, the, the most difficult of phrases,
The man of this phrase out of phase ~ fragments left of
What’s lost, out of time & out of place.
Silence Falls.
The spirit
Is the future,
The spirit is the flame
By the sea, by the light and by the storm
Returning, perceiving the great wheel turning
A vortex.
The past an abstract sky
The true song thru speech
As the veil will have it
All beauty dropped out of time, out of loneliness
Thru body and mind, soul.
These casualties all things
Becoming
Vox Verbum
Postremus Cantus.
As The Silence Falls
Words, Images Fading
Into history, voices poetry
The song an echo repeating
Into the void.
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Next exit
To the place where
All our worlds meet
And end
And I will
Meet you there.
