filaments.

what’s left? chemical reactions?

moments one intends to forget?

how simple, does it get? before
it can make sense-

the movement of energy.

will anyone master the art of seeing,
or reach an understanding of being?
love travels through invisible luminous fibers,

or so the universe whispered

during an ancient conversation.

your gods versus mine.

your gods versus mine.

your gods are weak and dying inside, but mine are 
       strong and growing around. 
yours allow ignorance while mine open minds. 
yours demand faith, mine suggest i reject it. 
you seek salvation, i just need a guide. 
yours turn you a disciple of false idols, pimping your 
       prayers, forcing you to pray to him, mine lets me 
       just speak to it. 
yours, omniscient, doused under the scent of salty 
       tears, wars, and blood and blood and blood. 
and your gods are burning while mine is just being, 
       being born and reborn with each breath. 
yours exist in sacred texts, mine in the whisper of the 
       wind, eternal.

the pains of a universe unraveling.

the pains of a universe unraveling.

I.
mistaken for an island,
trying to find security
in how lonely and
empty everything feels. things then repeat

false instances for one, of two hearts fading apart.

II.
they all repeat the empty promises
of youth and beauty, but where lies truth-
in hades rotting?

the universe aching to be loved.

aching to be, loved by anyone.

shooting at idols.

shooting at idols.

strength comes not from a show of might,
but from the realization
that day and night are a cycle without end.

power comes not from the barrel of a gun,
but from a total rejection
of what’s been assembled as reality for us.

freedom comes not from a violent revolution,
but from an understanding
of the universe as one infinite space.

infinite space.
