The Ink Of An Unknown PoemA Poem by Matthew Bass
I think aloud about
the direction fate will take us, my love, because this world hurts me far too much. The response of fight gives way to flight as the farce of my dream state comes to a sudden crashing halt. I crumple like a piece of paper with the ink of an unknown poem face to face with a thin line where old friends and brothers look back, but do not flinch. How long till I´m deleted? Each entry of my name meticulously erased until, not even I can recognize my own thousand yard stare. - Run! The voice biting at the back of my neck beckons, in desperation to the mountains where conquistadors stand frozen in time to the deep heart of Africa where silence resonates in the empty savannah to the tip of the old world where I jump into an ocean with no water with you, the one I love. © 2012 Matthew Bass |
