Desire

Desire erupts excessive

Hunger, thirst ecstatic

A radical familiarity

ultimately and always

recedes into the background -

one of the hidden ties that

bind together narratives,

languish to suture this

fragmentation of mortality.

Desire oscillates below the surface -

The word seduces, tempts us to steer

away from death, incites us to embrace

phantastic illusions… though spider webs

rapidly dissolve with the morning dew,

blazing sun across fragile surfaces…

Below illusion, concealed, life and existence

inexorably fated to dissolution, nothingness –

Desire feeds upon the abyss, the void -

These attempts, though useless,

logically flawed and technically

impossible are the plastic flowers of

our desire, with our empty hands,

we wish what we think we must have,

but know that we can never have,

An insurrection against nothingness

Impossible revolutions

Open up this place of free existence.

All desire is ironic.

Desire erupts ecstatic, it strikes
