Fall. Here was I born. It rained, but no one was looking 
They only saw mist and falling leaves. An old mendicant 
With elevens on his neck muttered rambles to a lost dog: 
Predictions for scraps, but even pennies can translate to food, 
Whispers can become truth, just listen…madness taken for 
Granted is a curse, unlooked for becomes a benediction: 
Salvation from mediocre, escape from mundane. yesterday 
He went missing, but left a written note which said forget 
Tomorrow, it’s the end. I can see my breath, its changing 
Into the nothingness depth of 
Winter. I try to plough my way through 
waist deep snow. No avail. The bitterness 
inside spreads and approaches the rushes; 
urges of declination to accept the cold. feelings 
reach to bold outline of trees against stark 
skyline. vivid imagination adds colours, then 
bright whiteness, then black. In blind faith 
know numbness, abduct god and stuff it into 
a small soul. called it animation and watch it dance. 
be content in experiencing pleasant warmth and the 
lack of fear. Forge from that a new 
Spring. Out of the ashes I rise and find a world destroyed. 
I imitate it as best I can in order to, out of chaos, call it civil. 
Or wrestle morality until I can define everything, make it 
Mimic myself. Internal energy cannot be contained, I hurt 
For avidity, sexual euphoria of creation from crematoria 
To manifestation. Dark skin separates, awaits seed’s bloom; 
Sun looks-lunar rests. warm soil, soul grow, transform, 
Then survive. lush thickets to consume/ innocence misused 
Ensues the pursuit of pleasure without consequence. Ethics 
Relative to tradition handed down mouth to mouth, a legend passed 
>From ancient to elder to father to son, then repeated until ice covers 
World like expensive dresses…prices…prices….payment for vices 
consciousness that waits until 
Summer. I sit overlooking troubled ocean. 
Breezes remind me of the shore where breakers 
Beat sound against sand and part land as if 
partitioners of stolen loot. Long ago I was the water 
And within me lay little forms of life never recognized 
I wept for them as they disappeared, gone to mineral 
Or meal...understanding made me take this mechanical shape 
and crawl onto the earth, traverse its ways, become wind…one 
thought made me empyrean…I was as the heavens… knew 
I sadness then, full in knowledge that there would be no one 
left to mourn my death...for I would out live them all.
frozen inside,cold as ice
just a memory in the past
just a shadow in the future
just me without  you
