lighter than air

Post by constantine »

darker
and darker still
light at the end of...
tell me how,
each day closer
the things you love
the things you hate
dad, mom
it doesn't make any difference
here, gone
like it never happened
do you understand me?
like it never even happened
and all your machinations
the poetic scramble
the shelved immortality
it makes me laugh i guess
lofty heights from the marble
oxidized, nitrogen fixed
noble gasses
lighter than air
like it didn't even happen
even if it did

(reply moved from creative board)

I breathe heavy air
Nicotine plutonium and lead
down dark deep in my lungs

at night
I gasp for breath
and think I won't die


I can not die
I will never die
Will they die with me?

I try to imagine this world
after I am gone from it


Pictures from the gone world

Dogs always know what time it is
