everything is missing
all is lost
something is absent
needed to come about
nothing is happening
a controlled folly -
we call this a world...
fulfillment is needed
gaps to fill
holes to blanket
and fill with water.
oceans to bury
mountains to flood
all or none
this universe is mud.
dissension long gone
digressions taken to heart
bleeding trees ooze
and the lonesome sun
burning earth.
rocks that crawl
rivers that fly
birds that fall
people who die.
how did it begin?
lack of life
heterotrophs and autotrophs
or two beings
nakedly sinful
living in a perfect garden
killing order
eating poison
killed us all.
photosynthesis provided
spontaneity not likely.
a deathbed of roses
and a bottle of steak.
risen from the ground
fallen from the ashes
passed to heaven
on a platter of solar wind
electrifying emptiness
without a bound.
sarcophagi line the path
the road to your life.
paper to oil
and create anew
this world to live
to die
all we have and are
for naught. or not.
a dim, radiant light
the end of the tunnel
burning in mid-air
weightless
unrestrained by nature
take the light and walk out
and you will discover
you had been a light the whole time
and now are free.
