Nothing
Sara Red 1999 (Kolkata)
Hideous vile spaces hiding in shadows
Utopia is seldom attained by nervousness
What is that
Can't concentrate
Shadows don't speak to me
Nonsense
Boundless energies don't resonate with me
Nothing but a hoax
Covering the desperate miserable
Counting on the sun to bury me within its baked coffins
What can scare me
Looking closer it's a saucer
Saucer of cut up suspicion wrapped up with disbelief
It can't be
It's a universe of openess and claustrophobia
"Dive deep in"
No. It's not worth it
But it wasn't yesterday too
Jumping straight in, laughter is bellowed,
Cries are softened
Harmonies are eulogized
Fractures in the spectrum of my already perforated imagination
I've reached the bottom of my universe vessel
All I ask for is my curiosity to keep my sanity
It's impossible to touch nothingness
I'm drowning
Already over the cliff and I see the fauna of the future.
I'm okay.
I'm not nothing
