Lunar Phase

28 08 2009

It’s a half moon.
And we’ll be leaving soon,
so don’t get too attached.

Looking up at the sky,
no Aquarius could deny
that this has not yet hatched.





E Pluribus Unum

26 08 2009

Flesh
and bone
and spirit
occupy this space
and detach from time.

Looking back on this life
that I call
Mine
I see no lines.
I see no forms.
There is no
m o m e n t
I was born.
I have always existed.
I will always be.

Because
T h e  U n i v e r s e
Is Me.

ToomuchToomuchToomuch.
Brain shut up!
Brain
shut
down.





Epiphany

6 08 2009

Synapses
overstimulated.

Neurons
no longer firing
but on fire.

Heart and mind
racing.
Only one
can win.

Can’t catch my breath.
Can’t catch my thought.

And even if I did
my hands are too shaky
to get a grip.

Insight?
Insanity?

Who said there was a difference?





Divine Deficiency

1 08 2009

Thoughts
without words
are like rulers
without edges.

They give meaning
to masses
that could never be measured.

Tip-of-the-Tongue
indefinable
pleasures.

And Deep-in-the-Id
sorrows
untethered.

For as beautifully apt as
a language can be,
no man-made mechanism
could describe
divinity.
