EntropyA Poem by NikolasMy first poem in quite a while, I might be a bit rusty.
I sink into the blackness
As if I were a new moon In my room, under the thick cover Door shut, window shut, eyes shut, mind shut I'm a cocoon with all my thoughts packed in A pure virgin of skin and blood I have reached total inertia I'm a clock on the wall They've forgotten to wind Why need I do anything at all Anyway That list of to dos Is only paper and ink A mere litter of babies crying out to me But I do not here them anymore Instead I hear only how the black air Slithers by and coils around me And whispers to stay I try to forget how to move Forget that I have arms and legs Or a heart beating somewhere inside I subtract layer after layer of my body Peeling away like an onion Until all that remains is a consciousness Lingering in absence Knowing only that eventually It must return to the world © 2015 Nikolas |
