Thursday’s Poem – “Ignore”

You knew it was the cry of my breath
and you knew you would ignore
there were so many cries for life
but none that gave you breath

I came from a distant place
a place of horrors and peace
where the demons shout with glee
giving us flight, while we run in terror
   bleeding in our lost souls

Chase me in the absence
remember me when the clouds break
I’ll not be there
in the lightning
in the cacophony
in the… hmm
  … I might be there.

Short life bleeds into years
no sense in setting clocks
all read the same
all chime last call

A monkey churns
a tune grinds on
I pop when time is…
  ….. time is
  ….. time is
  ….. time is…
when you have become the dancing monkey
you dance
  it rains
  it plays the sounds of the carnival
        and if you dance the dance
        
      ah!

    ”Have a nibble. It won’t last
     but it will bait you along.”

I watched the sun
my eyes wide open
blistered my vision
opened my mind
and if it mattered
we’d all play the violin
and pretend the world was flat

As it is
I’ve forgotten my name
(thankfully, the Son remembers)
fifty-nine years and the plague of our dreams
               Sai, we know not why
skips past and dreams of a better day.

Bring me my life.
Bring me my breath.
I will live
            yes
    I will live

YES

Black, white, and other shades of gray. These are the colors of our mind
   these are the color we see…..
       ….. I am blue.

Find me.
