New Poem From We Rise Like Smoke Poems Psalms Incantations Published by DeadMansPressInk Now Available on Amazon
THE STARS IN NIGHT IN FLIGHT
The stars in night in flight
The migration of the birds in
Flight revolutions of chaos around the
Circumference of the sun
(Like shadows)
But the gods haven’t noticed
As the starless night remains
Our dark evolution vast & sad
Beautiful & tragic
But Jesus doesn’t want to be found
& Buddha just doesn’t care
And Gaia just watches
Helpless
The Stars In Flight At Night
The migration of the birds in
Flight revolutions of chaos around the
Circumference of the sun
Humanity has risen
Not risen
Doesn’t notice
Doesn’t realize
Doesn’t care
Denies the stars
Denies itself
The stars migration
Love’s failure to love
One another
Each other
(Ourselves)
Death &
Beauty
Always the
Story of
Ourselves
Never
Ending
~ R.M. Engelhardt
