Why Suicide?
why suicide?
why bother?
why the pretense that i'm worth the pain?
living is suicide
a one-directional moment
you begin, you know there's a finish line one day
why suicide?
it's all heading to that point
She Unrolled
she unrolled the turkish carpet
and found herself flattened in anticipation
walked on for centuries
looking up the ladies' skirts
into gentlemen's trousers
she felt the worst and the best of cobblestoned soles
she saw that all were the same
massive and plodding
the few who flew were saluted
she, flat and looking up
been so down it all looked up from there
gazed at the sky
waiting for a rush of salvation
Carpet Continuation
i enter the carpet
i look down
as i dance the dervish weave
my head spins the wheel
behind me stand thousands of centuries
singing a sufi chant
a heavy maniacal chord
a rolling through waves of aeons
again and again
and i twirl
a woven tapestry
my DNA locking fingers
with the hands of ancients
how weird the berry stained moments
the encapsulated charms
talismans preserved in embroidery
spells uttered without words
into the carpet of wisdom
face down, heart joined
wrapped in dimensionless time

A~
again and again
and i twirl
a woven tapestry
my DNA locking fingers
with the hands of ancients
wonder and dismay to find
it's always been this way...
