UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF NEAR VOID

UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF NEAR VOID Unbearable darkness of near Void when my Heart sits indigo at the back of my throat I see no endearing vacant eyes of guides grit in joints scream generational curse which stubbornly brick build a house faraway as mental escape into limbs to twine around clean waves caught on deserted beaches humans trying to prepare for something they seek somewhere in a future at the tip of a nose penning Zen water time So strange this time of change when we know we cannot evade justice of timespace flames of distant dissolution Galactic Sun calling us to surrender to its melting we wonder about other hands or lashes or meals listening to Seven Sisters where comrades pour gentle wisdom edged finger tips touching our cheeks and hair silent Voices falsely echo performance plans or contact counties for plumbing permissions make no sense in coffee cup thoughts Who are we to question footsteps in caverns or in government corridors corruption or thanksgiving when these reflect minutes and themes we passed some time ago ? Why do we re-read lessons for another like threshing corn again and again for bread which is not for our cutting board to tolerate their viral pain in our own swollen fingers reconfiguring cells to silence love aching fluid which will not move to sleep away until another wakes Oh ! Darkness of near Void swallow mind, toes, wind tick every crumb and crime as love sickles time moving standing still messaging Shaka Zulu and his impis watch resting guarding a foundation slab hastily laid as hide and seek a usual ostrich trick surfing experiences God patient nods “Wait” what else I ask to sleep in Darkness of near Void cannot instead caress Awake as profiles become particles picnicking my constancy ©GhairoDanielsPoetry& Song2024
