"There is nothing permanent except change." - Heraclitus


a voice i follow

through a hole

i fall 

to be caught 

by a pool

of glowing rocks

water circles

and i lose her

to lost hymns


i know what this is.


out i climb

unbarring my eyes

to a carousel

of discarded care

try again

to a menagerie

of locked promises

open them forcefully 

one last time

to a circus

of dead wonder


every blink

a new horror


when

will this madness ever end?


i

can’t have no control


sometimes

it’s not enough.

A dream sequence I had one night was my inspiration for this piece. I wanted to capture both its strange scenes and the realization it caused me to have.
