I was lying awake the other night, listening to myself breathing and waiting for the weight of my eyelids to send me off into the black abyss of sleep. I started to observe the nature of what constitutes breathing, the constant of in-and-out, the expansion and contraction of the lungs to circulate oxygen to the body. This little observation of myself led to my brain having a spark that bolted me back up and awake. The below is my attempt to get this spark into words.

NaPoWriMo Day 21 – Cure #3
In his robes we
sit and meditate on
fantasy scriptures and
processor histories,
the nature of maternal madness and
who is watching from the ashes of
our Romeo and Julietas
lying and dying and frying the mulch bed.
True story. True friendship.
NaPoWriMo Day 15 – Circle
The concept of no beginning
and no end
is the most natural occurrence
of the universe,
and yet the most difficult
for man to conceive.
We see it all around us,
we utilize it more than
any other visual,
and yet conceptually
we are overcome with denial.
The planets,
the solar system,
the vast galaxies revolve
in an endless loop.
Foundations of roots
convene into towering spires
where children join hands and sing
of black rings
on decaying flesh.
At times angles are introduced,
temporary diversions from a
smoother path,
in groups of five or six;
bends, but never broken.
Envious of the defiance of all
we can come to understand,
we use the universal concept
as if we can force and end,
break the continuum eternal.
The origins, however,
do not bring ends to themselves,
nor those of similar nature
to themselves,
and we are by no means
everlasting.
Embrace the evidence,
oh, stubborn hearts of men,
or fall to the endless,
the unbegun.
