Internal compass



Passing through interminable spaces of grating noise,
enclosures of timed movement into back-lit shade
Shadows fell, driving a stake through a jaded heart,
uncovering the passage inside to the darkness or the light

Dual meaning and moments interchangeable -
it's all about which ride you're about to jump on,
how to define the role you stake
in this signature moment in time

A veil of smoke dropping from leering eyes,
staring into the gray-orange plasma maze,
drifting around peering into windows of idealized existence
Every day bears the weight of an unraveling scene

It drains the weight and drags its way
into the darkness that colors your context,
that shapes the inside of your eyelids,
that lives on larger than life

Passing through terminals in motion and in song -
pattern recognition of the unknown, unknowable
aspirations into total purity and context,
adjoining paths into some expanse of wonder or willingness

Pressing forward into the shedding of skin -
giving space for some unknowable truth,
its dimensions laid bare internal to eternal
through passage from the inside out

MM 8.16
