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.

Creation I

It wasn't there
     Before
     Before the breath
     Moved there was
     Something less

It moved something
     But not
     Before the thought
     Moved there was
     Nothing there

It wanted
     Nothing
     Nothing but air
     Moved the thought
     Moved to confess

It confessed something
     New
     New air thought
     Nothing less than
     To be there

On Board

Window washing
Budget squashing
Talk talk talk
Money running
Fee gunning
Walk walk walk

Chair renting
Unit venting
Push push push
Factor spinning
Model pinning
Gush gush gush

Time eating
Code bleating
Sunk sunk sunk
Issue spilling
Mind filling
Plunk plunk plunk
