It's always night, or we wouldn't need light.
- Thelonious Monk
|
relentless
inexorable night
recursively returning
each day
setting off
alarms
imperishable death
defining us
in spite
of everything
else
inestimable darkness
no one can see
its worth
|
trajectory
the thrown knife shivers
as it sticks
in a frequency audible
to anyone
in the forest
preventable occurrences
freeze the insulated imagination
taking off
vertically
in the path of fire
the elevation you get is greater
than the ordinary
perturbations
of love
of self
|
apprehension
parading your knowledge
unblinking
in fits of code
I think
I know what you mean
the professors measure
stress
and the drum
marching in apprehension
is soundly beaten
|
practicum
symbiotic attachments
encroach upon the balance
of the nest
in the crotch
of this fir
timely
spatial repetitions
spell an end
to some of these parasites
but it takes years
you come out of the woodshed
a master tinker
fueled with the freedom
you lost
when you entered
