Love… Hate
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Life Death Like a pendulum
moves across time/space
As if blind More than time displaced
Let me state my case;
Back and forth relative comparisons
Are measured for depth, breadth Right to left,
positions are assigned Left to right
Inscriptions are aligned. Good or evil life designs
Mind and body/Spirit and soul or the circular
Round and round clockwise/counterclockwise
Spherical, elliptical routes. Apogee perigee
Tidal cyclical Multi-dimensional moves
Tik-toc Yin-Yang laws of physics applied
Rotational/gravitational In and out/Up and down
Hanging in the balance like sand in an hourglass Running without pretense to an end all must face.
Love
with memories of warmth/light to hold on to
Or hate cold/dark
Except that
All traces of our existence
Will be… Erased.
