I.

The feeling of a fresh page & the privilege to demolish its pristinity Belong to no one - emptiness' own pleasure & the backwards epiphany of adulthood Introduction to unforgettable family I forgot them in gargoyle passion, Their blurred faces chase me cat & mouse. Even the certain becomes increasingly vague: Was my lover even real? Was she thin smoke? Cottage of strewn garments, The paper from packaged goods. Carpet that is a savior of the ghost alpaca, Species that are dead and will always be dead. Abstraction that pierces ligament: Grinds teeth of iridium & titanium girders, Loses everyone in a cartoon chase With unpleasant sound effects. Uncertainty is a divine face. Electron bat, whistle of agate, Cherrywood, pitch, oregano rotation in An oscillating cube called flesh.

II.

Again the witches' pentagon Of a broken world breaking: Pain puts it back together. Sigh, grimace, joke, rolls eyes: Lunacy in a 1950's grocery store, Paleolithic or cyberfuturistic— The melt of time kaleidoscopes. It has me in its grasp, I am soft wax, two decibels, Eighteen-hundred inches of inches, A pound is only a pound. Words bring nothing, they say nothing, They are crones, bony men, old hags. They sprinkle sunflowers I am roasting In death's nest-words fill this space. Take all pleasure for themselves Of emptiness' usurpation, but They give a shining package With nothing inside. ___ ![colortriangle-oncefresh.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSFpZnwe9zx2RKpoR76naHMCNbwqNRM9PMMW3yABgZxLK/colortriangle-oncefresh.jpg) ___ ![colortriangle-oncefresh 3.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWDHrXdwjFDSJmG5qVUTVe4khqd7949csVRKnvjQvCg7A/colortriangle-oncefresh%203.jpg)

Notes

Recently, I've been catching up on uploading poems I wrote a couple of days ago. This one was written at night when I was in a very particular zone. It addresses the strangeness of words, beginning with a completely fresh page and ending with the dubious product of a completed writing. As always I like to address paradox, the mundane and the supermundane. I recorded it on my iPhone last night near my door where you could hear the whistling wind. Later added a few layers in Garageband and an outro with the ambience of the wind. I hope you enjoy this experimental piece! *(Note, please let me know if you are able to get this poem to play using @dsound. Some people have been having issues playing the files. Also try downloading it to your computer and see if that works. Thanks!!)* ![colortriangle-oncefresh 2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbpsj5A14fhtWjZPDe8ybxTEBEmRenwhjv8Bxx1g5QdsM/colortriangle-oncefresh%202.jpg)
