ante meridiem (Haiku)


taken long enough
nothing's left to take

broke hard enough
it believes itself to be broken

shaken hard and long enough
it must settle

After It Was Said Before It Was There Was Something Else Wasn't There?

I will
be
the last
thing
to
everyone
if
I
can
when
I'm
not
when
it's
fraught
taught
sought
bought
not
a
thing
at
all
if &
when ur
done
I'm
there

why am i

why am i
why this
why any of 
this
why do i
exist

Reason

why should i
reason 
is it enough

Westernlands

I have no more 
Honesty
Everything is the 
Same
It’s not here
It is 
Here
Uncertainty of 
Existence
I exist everywhere
Every illusion
And none at all
Virgil
Rimbaud
Paracelsus
I am as easily 
As myself
The self
Eternal
Omniscient
Omnipresent
What am I
Cannot be 
Distinguished
Surely
There is
Nothing to 
Measure
This unique 
Identity
I Am myself
Lost in the
Knowledge of self
We must never
Speak of this
Eternal
Transcendence of 
Form
These are not 
Words
Am I dream
Nightmare
Feasting on 
Flesh
Carnal knowledge
Cities 
Scattered
In dust of
The world
I have no 
Catechism
There are
No demons;
No real
Demons
And therefore
No hell
I have
Caused my
Own misfortune
There is hope
And there is
Not hope
Wake up!
Wake up!
This is life
And this is not 
Life
Am I what 
I despise
A coward
A liar
But this is 
Not life
I escape my
Own logic
Gravity conspires
Against me
Knowledge is
Not gained 
From a bite 
Of an apple
I avail 
Myself
From this Poison
From
Both living
And the dead
Here within
Westernlands
Surly no man
is good  yet
I am him!
I am him! 
Not Seen in this
World
Everything
Is undone
Am I perception
As the perceived
Are there 
Ghost or
Remedies
Of Gold
I will expose
Everything
And nothing at all
This sweet madness
A joke 
Unto itself
Later, later
There isn't
Time now
and
that time
Is now
Gone

C’est la vie

Certain tragic
Following 
A rabbit
Left with
A habit
C’est la vie!
More of the Same
Shit
Looking
For the rest
Of it
C’est la vie!
Deep 
in a bad Trip 
Resorted
To
Black Magic
C’est la vie!
In it
For the Fun
Of it
Until there’s None
Of it
C’est la vie!
Searching a Way out 
Of it
she
Snorted-up
The last
Of it
C’est la vie!
Monkey's got
The best
Of you
When there’s
Nothing
Left
Of you
C’est la vie!

42

I’ve become who I am
When all becomes
Equal

When darkness has no more
Struggle against
Light

Where the good who fight
Fear not
Evil

Right and wrong simple
Words of a poet’s
Song

Leaving
All or nothing undone

When both Heart and Home
Are familiar and
Unknown

Where blood between men
Neither foe nor
Friend

Gold or lead the
Living and the
Dead

Everywhere
Becomes the same

UNIVERSE DOESN’T CARE

I’ve thought
all this
Before

This morning
In front
Of the sink

Wild unruly
Prose
Complete

Succinct
Suggesting
Exactly

Sentiments
I’ve got
to

Get
A pen
At

This
Point I
Have no

All

Illusions
Even
So

Where
Would
It

Go
There’s
Nothing else

This is
It
And

I’ve no
Fuckin
Idea

just keeps on revolving

i've written
these
words before

had the same
thought
in my head

I’ve resisted
stream of
Conscious

Indulged
a primitive
self

believed
meaninglessness
and

Poetry
enslaved in
words

could
release
me

then it
stops
like now
