of gods [i digress]
By Six-Out
they say-
that even the gods would weep.
I know they say this.
them. there in their lives.
whispering goodmorning and goodbye
by candlelight- thinking their
moments of peaceful ponderings
are internal.
piecing apart the parts and particles.
particularly- I'm thinking of being
and believing.
as deceiving.
if I were screaming.
they would hear. and when I'm dreaming.
they're here. born between blinks.
and breathing the beats of my heart-
I'm just a being. sentient as the scent
of misleading medians.
I'd bleed a river
-drink. thinking of abstract quivers of thought
and the mountains form while my eyes
twitch. licking likewise contradictions.
I am that which I conflict.
and they blink when my lips speak.
dawn brings death. weep for me.
they scream with their might.
tonight. they're born.
and I dream
them into being.

This made me think of existence and how we are never close enough, but sometimes we are...and the whole confusion of what we're here for. I feel I understood at least some of your abstract words. I especially liked the end, dreaming into being, those things that make us real. Are they real? Great work!

sorry to misquote you my friend..
'I'd bleed a river. drink..' I mean to say. Reads even better the second time. Amazing.
