Waters World

The deliberate markings of the waters under the bridge

expressed themselves like falcons in the cloak of doves;

needing so desperately to pretend that they were in charge.

As it were, batteries like that of a cell phone

reincarnated

as a flashlight

made it obvious

but undeniably overlooked

that power is relative.

Intangible polar charges were so miniscule in relation

to the globe

but for so very long

it was the very best that we thought that we could do.

Devoured by the unknown,

dangling, impertinent ghosts,

it was easier

to ignore

the infinite grandeur outside of above and beyond

our petty minds:

what a permanent mistake.

Tiny magnets

grapple

with heavy truths,

it was better

they remained unrecognized.

Invariable impermanent opposites were in fact

the cornerstone

which gravity itself

apparently relied upon

except 
corners never mattered so much

as graves

central my moment is lost

your beginning

is my ending and 

a glacier

makes the prettiest laughter

of your rains

it is time

only time

which defies definition while owning every letter and every number,

invisible things are the most undeniable:

I live for the ghost of a blind man who traveled the globe alone,

definition a curse

explanation an ankle chain

l climb every ladder backwards

discovery my only purpose

in a dark sea of starry unknowns.
