Farldos Away

Everything unsaid silently testifies

Everything unsaid
silently testifies.

Words fail endlessly
but say nothing of it.

They continue past
the conversation
seething red embers
seeking desperately
to shake us all off
and glow freely
beyond reality
returning to the dream.

They catch the fire
leaping into the shadow
beneath us
bleeding and searching
as we slowly dissolve
into the horizon
from which we first erupted.

Words are Gods
outside Existence
screaming us
falsely
whole again.

I find the hand
already absent
releasing its object
now chasing
ghosts
home.

Well this is
how we are made to linger:
falsely time accuses us
with a complicated sigh
with which we immediately
almost entirely
identify
and though
small suspicions
remain
dear to us
writing deep within
their subtle and cynical poetry
we know that something
is absolutely wrong
with everything
we've ever said.

Everything collapses over and over,
endlessly frothing disaster
we reel in slowly
gathering our own
perpetual dissolution
one surprising evasion
at a time
trapped a net
we cannot grasp.

I watched you bury me here
deep in the blood we share.

I laughed
free from words.
