poem #5

Gratitude for an Annhilation

Life, being a dash between old age and death
To see which can first make youth succumb
Raises not my hairs

For she swallows the darkness whole

And mirth comes even on the precipice
A blithe joy bestowed and inherited
I am alive and know it

For she rips away the haze of habit

Petite raptures knit a chrysalis anew
Acyclic incarnations du jour
I am asunder and ascribed

For even in triteness she is dazzling

Multitudes over millennia
Caterwauled of the consequences
Of staring into the sun

For poor fools never realize how blessed blindness can be
