Bluelighter
I keep losing myself
In the gap between worlds
Echoes of consciousness
Whispering in the silent spaces
The sum total more than the parts
Discarded snake-skins of personalities
Rustling in the dead breeze
Keeping company with tumbleweeds
Each pixel of this reality
Before my eyes they slip
Quicksilver-slick through fingers
To the vial whence worlds have sprung
Speaking the language unique
Uninterpretable yet always familiar
As with the strains of passion
Felt in some shrivelled older heart
An artist paints slowly
Brush moving inches in years
Breathing stale life
Into a landscape millenia gone
We're spinning in the vortex
Drops of water forced together
As we drop into the dark
This end we share that makes us one
In the coldest closing hours
Each breath bringing closer the last
Until like feather-down we drift
To fly upon the wind towards the sun
-plaz out-
In the gap between worlds
