sinking back

sinking back into the 'is',
thus,
i become understood less and less
by the ones
who don't want to get out of their 'was'.
mind you, the mind is 'was'.
'was' excludes 'is',
but 'is' includes 'was'.
hence,
i understand more and more those
locked in the 'was',
while i become less and less,
as the 'is' embraces
this i that once was 'was'.
sinking back into the 'is',
thus, ...

communal "harmony"

the time is nigh
the drop starts
to develop the ocean
fountains of blue blood
begin to gush forth
as the pressures of destiny
close in on itself
pounded bones and crushed flesh
are strewn to welcome
that which is never welcomed
lick all that is fresh today
for tomorrow only the seething oozing
puss of silly remorse shall remain
even the marrow will not be spared
but day after the morrow
the time is no more nigh
for then even time is no more
when "harmony" is left in a bloody grave

in that world

the rock trembles softly like a leaf in
the hands of a murderer
now even the tempestuous wind caresses gently
in that world where the sun never sets.
the earth is rent asunder and its
core is bathed in that fragrant light.
yes darkness is dissolved once for all.
for the call of the All
is heard from the depths of silence.
yes in that world where
we are born into the sun.
