paradox Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Crackling hot summer gully track to ridgetop cliffside podium, i crouch watching a raggedy sleek black bull-ant rampaging in her syncopated duty. she seems to sense my sweat & approach's, then reels with brandished mandibles at the movement of my immensity. she's a bad-ass immersed in her own ant paradigm, unfathomable from the perspective of my own unknown reality.. she marches on away, past a leech stood poised with acute awareness at the taste of my warm mammalian fragrance in the air... but i leave now, leave it hungry as i pull another from behind my knee. I'm perched now. Lost atop a ridge-side cliff on the edge of deathtown. A green-skinned ale all i have to whet my throat & ease this heat. Cool my cheek. Down below, the streets are bare & hot. Blank stares, fragments of souls lost & simple concentric geometric flummery is all that greets one who'd seek the company of a heart.. Quite fitting that this is where i first knew true love. Now the only signs of life, a trolley wielding gutter-man, his old heart in apathy, he's forgotten how to recognize one who also knows.. or perhaps i'm lost & dead as well & he simply chooses to ignore another of the binary phantoms that haunt his world. This baking clifftop bush, it creaks & crackles in heat & so much more. The so much more that comes from all inside but right around. i suck my green-skinned ale & ponder the no-where that i'm heading. still so far to go... No desire but the want to have desire. Nothing in words but the moon to which the finger points.. But even i know theres nothing there or anywhere else to want for. Nothing but the itch of a decaying memory from another thought-dream blown away by the cool wind in this summer over deathtown. .
