Driving
like an electron
ricocheting out of orbit
straight ahead—
SO STRAIGHT!
The horizon before me
violently ripping
open and apart
like a reverse sunset
imploding into
electric confetti.
Dead animal shells
line the sides;
time-lapse melting
into black oceans
of perpetual fray.
I’M SOARING—
I’M DYING—
I’m a mythical curse;
a majickal blessing;
counting backwards to love
at the speed of death.
As the ancient maelstrom
of gigantic steel rhythms
ECHO AND WAIL
through my vapid skull;
cracking like lightning
across the bone white night
until I’m the only wave left—
CRASH.
recede—
I am now
as still as
(the) Never.
The shadow
of a hologram
in puzzle with sight,
comprehending
each and every
single bullet
of light.
We will all be
somewhere else
when the sun
goes out.
