It’s
the silence; it’s always been the silence
Lies
at least bear the respect of a response
As
if the speaker had the respect for an offering
To
tide the beast with a scrap of humor
Plato’s
stalactites are in the computer screen now
Anchoring
in documents casting shadows twisting in the darkness
Writing
the potential of dreams bouncing off dreams
Swirling
worlds that only exist in cascading assumption
Brewed
in the silence of what one hopes founded out of ignorance
Breathing
in the darkness of possibility of the horror
A
man commits when he closes his eyes and sees the infinite
No
walls, no boundaries, just besotted hope slobbering
A
Blockbuster movie rental house to find the pictures she spoke
Her
behind the counter, me trying to check out without confrontation
Yet
I see a turned computer screen of her edited script asking
If
all that I wrote was true, if I was so inspired
She
stops the line; pulls me behind the counter and starts fellatio
She
gets fired; I leave the movies on the counter and fly out that building
Like
an angel with giant feathered wings smiling happy
Before
the glass shatters
Dreams
like visions of a sad mind conjuring God’s hints
Seeing
what one wants, praying over cereal bowls
Asking
(pleading) for directions, “What do you want me to do now?”
“If
it was not that; if not her, if not... Then...”
The
shadows bounce off the sphere of rock
Splaying
a man through like spears ripping his guts
Until
all there is becomes fraying rope fragmenting into flitted shards
Dust
to sweep up if anyone gave a shit about the floor
Mirrored
in the ceiling with the blood crusted from the leaks
Pouring
in the silence slapping itself in echoes
As
if when one talks to himself the wood will answer
The
horizon will bring the man a moon to shine a mirror in the darkness
Dreaming
the words would shift like a snap before the last drop of hope
Evaporates
at dawn like a perverse dew of midnight’s dreams
Knowing
when one wakes it is all over, back to the bat guano and shitty cell phone
reception
Typing at a computer trying to get back to the
dream
