Dumb witted and descrambled
search longingly
complete deconstruction
schizophrenic vortex
whirlwind particles energy
Shrapnel of my love
Torn abit
Shattered shards
Embedding steel will on steel subconscious habit
Noticing not the missing things
Caring not for plot
Or the knowing of where the going is going
The type of tear apart
Where any explanation or answer
defeats the definition of what to explain or answer means
violates intent by just opening my mouth
more I try more I fail
dishonest if I do anything but dig that deep hole
bury myself down there so as to never show my tell
See what I don’t mean, more
My mind’s eye
Quest of vision is my life
My desire
To see all the pieces, by the roots break life apart
To breath it back, take it in,
Glimmering
Making mine
In rainbows and golden glorious time inside
a cynic conscious cosmonaut
Searching my illusions
Casting forth a brilliance
Zipping my universe out like a lure
Inspiring boldly
Midas like gaze
Using spark
All my own dynamic brainstorm
Trying to catch the big fish with a twinkle, a shimmer
In the big river bounding forth
Build my entire infrastructure eastwards
Forcing me growl, grumpy, surly
To begin each day with light supreme at first start
A beginning
Another spark
moshe, 2000
