Constraints















Rolling, folding, ageless spaces,
Water and rock, earth remade,
Emblems of love's beatific traces
Colliding, collapsing, till Shiva is stayed.

Why can love not heal?
Why do we have to feel,
This weight.

Corneas, minds, yeah cells abhor,
Boys morphed into serial killers,
Sight of endless hate and war,
The bloody price of endless thrillers.

Why can life not gain?
Why this bloody refrain?
So numb.

Magic beasts now dumb retreat,
Smitten sprites vapors disperse,
Before the techno march of feet
Hungry void -- the endless curse.

Why are angels so quiet?
Why no heavenly riot?
Toward change.

Rumors of light beyond the cloud
Midwives mystics, and innocents,
Taste and see before bold and loud,
Squelch immanence and transcendence.

Why is what is most real,
Beyond what we can feel?
One hope!

***A Poem About the space around me...closing in...so it feels like sometimes.
