Creation II

      Not usually easy
         You find you need
            To travel outside
               The normal bounds

      While comfort sleeps (you)
         Steal away lithly
            With pen and knife
               Seeking inflection points

(you) Hack apart memory
         Hack apart dreams
            Hack apart consciousness
               Puzzle pieces all

      When you remember nothing
         When you feel nothing
            When you know nothing
         (you) Know it is close

      And now you fight
         To stay off course
            To stay off key
         (you) Stay amorphous

      Palter while you can;
         Shuffle pieces while you can
            In this collapsing void
         (you) Plunder rapaciously

      Anon the bubble fractures
         Temporal frame returning
            Brilliance fleeting
               Exhaustion blankets (you)

      With light retuning (you)
         Mine mental flotsam
            As normalcy
               Fades into existence

(you) Take these crumbs
         Injecting essence
            Into waiting veins
               Renewing the muse.
