Quarter

Hells shape reveals itself
In the pupils that do not blink
Do not shutter do not think

In my head I picture a perfect day
That includes you
The dream-light echoes in my ears
In patterns of faint light
In patterns of rippling shades of
Golden autumn yellow

Fires burn in my chest
Neither warm neither cold
Spewing, humming, contemplating
Love

the sky stripped back
spits down
Tears down
Everything washes away in its waters

Stupendous

The beds are prepared, the sheets are tucked, the pillows pressed by angels hands
How resplendent, amazing, stupendous
There is none a cobweb to speak of not etch or marking in carpet or wall
Glorious, effervescent, stupendous

Not a man without grace, nor a woman without face
No excrement of tongue nor that born of bowel
Marvelous, brilliant, stupendous

No dirt outside or in, Nothing soiled,
Nothing dim nor light, only transparent and bright
Not a single blight
Astounding, remarkable, incalculable,
Stupendous, stupendous, stupid-pendous

The Universe

The universe is mine alone
The great expanses of stars
That cause my eyes to grow teary and my chest to swell

The empire is mine
The expanse of cities and the faces smiling hopeful laughing
The children run at my feet
Parks are crowded with my subjects
All the people that shall never enter me

My gates are tall and invisible
They reach from within me and extend out to the stars
I can touch the sun with my hand
The universe is mine

I can swim through time
Through black holes
I have seen quasars I have seen beginning and have some notion of the end
Men built with stones my hands sow clouds, earth, steel and knowledge
The world is mine
The countries are known to me
The peoples are cold to me

I can make things that never were
I can think and it is so
All is below me
All are around me
They will never welcome me
They cannot see

My universe is a cold void
It is mine and mine alone
In my universe each day is a struggle
The atoms of stars burst and explode
Plumes of light cascade so beautiful
And so wrought by cries
Cries of not yet, not now
They are never ready to dissolve their time cannot be up
In my universe destiny is to revert to the dark that so consumes

My universe is vast and empty
Perhaps something lies in all the darkness
But I cannot see it
It is mine yet I cannot see

Alone

Night breathes alone
Cold scars of sky peer alone
The world is shot through a grey filter alone
The stars burn cold alone
Breakers smash ice shores alone
The Moon shivers alone
Grass shimmers like barbed wire alone
The wind tickles but does not whistle alone
Leaves dance in pale blue night alone

The sea wails into me and inside me
Wails indiscernibly loud and insect
Its great expanse weeping alone
