Bleached to the very straw from sun
Intergalactic Outsider
Posted in Poetry with tags art, dustus, imagination, perception, Poetry, projection, sensation on May 17, 2019 by dustusUnder dying light of cyclic eve
When dry wind susurrates howling
Sifting through wavering palm fronds
Scuttling runaway road sand
My heart beats thudding rapidly
Mind racing from adrenal glands
Because it’s one’s will in time
Considering thought nonlinear
Tangential to affixed biology
So often illusive; dreamlike in clarity
An ineffable sound to invisible muse
In retrospect when hindsight deafens
Fear itself that I must lose…
Ambling through proverbial minefields
With tennis rackets for sensible shoes
Teetering on edge of fraught intensity
…each knotted fibrous sinew
…each entwining charged synapse
From grey to darkest matter shocking
Until perception slips…
From moist tenuous grasp
Love animates our very blood
Born to further ancestral collapse
As we live upon revolving earth
While aiming for space to finally crash

Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
—T.S Eliot (from Four Quartets) 1941
A Silent Song
Posted in love, mental illness, Poetry with tags acceptance, art, death, dustus, life, paradise, Poetry on May 10, 2019 by dustusCrestfallen sighs to mirror waves
Lost mind to discontented days
Wasting breath from burning chest
Most welcome trove of treasured death
Smooth pebbled shore, beached jellyfish
Acts of cutting ties and….
Past life drowning under surface
Found paradise and don’t deserve this….
Love where once I thought self gone
To die alone, a silent song
Subject to scorn self letting down
The walls which isolate one’s sound
Tie-dying clouds
