I.
The feeling of a fresh page
& the privilege to demolish its pristinity
Belong to no one - emptiness' own pleasure
& the backwards epiphany of adulthood
Introduction to unforgettable family
I forgot them in gargoyle passion,
Their blurred faces chase me cat & mouse.
Even the certain becomes increasingly vague:
Was my lover even real?
Was she thin smoke?
Cottage of strewn garments,
The paper from packaged goods.
Carpet that is a savior of the ghost alpaca,
Species that are dead and will always be dead.
Abstraction that pierces ligament:
Grinds teeth of iridium & titanium girders,
Loses everyone in a cartoon chase
With unpleasant sound effects.
Uncertainty is a divine face.
Electron bat, whistle of agate,
Cherrywood, pitch, oregano rotation in
An oscillating cube called flesh.
II.
Again the witches' pentagon
Of a broken world breaking:
Pain puts it back together.
Sigh, grimace, joke, rolls eyes:
Lunacy in a 1950's grocery store,
Paleolithic or cyberfuturistic—
The melt of time kaleidoscopes.
It has me in its grasp,
I am soft wax, two decibels,
Eighteen-hundred inches of inches,
A pound is only a pound.
Words bring nothing, they say nothing,
They are crones, bony men, old hags.
They sprinkle sunflowers I am roasting
In death's nest-words fill this space.
Take all pleasure for themselves
Of emptiness' usurpation, but
They give a shining package
With nothing inside.
Notes
Recently, I've been catching up on uploading poems I wrote a couple of days ago. This one was written at night when I was in a very particular zone. It addresses the strangeness of words, beginning with a completely fresh page and ending with the dubious product of a completed writing. As always I like to address paradox, the mundane and the supermundane. I recorded it on my iPhone last night near my door where you could hear the whistling wind. Later added a few layers in Garageband and an outro with the ambience of the wind. I hope you enjoy this experimental piece! (Note, please let me know if you are able to get this poem to play using @dsound. Some people have been having issues playing the files. Also try downloading it to your computer and see if that works. Thanks!!)

A beautiful write and read. I was particularly struck with questioning line ... was my lover ever real ... If we are truly honest, we can never really know if past loves were real or how they we were real. The memory is a liar. Sometimes it serves ego and sometimes it serves peace and contentment. It is best to welcome the white lies, perhaps. All I know is that those loves are not real now or only real as an evolving memory. Not particularly good to hold onto.

Nice effects @d-pend. First the pictures and the sound are totally in tune. I like the choice of the cover pictures. Second the sounds are mixed in a way to wrap up the feeling of time blowing in the wind. The decentralized networks are still in infancy so sometimes they seem to fade in and out. One day I may buy an apple device just for garage sounds. I am working with audacity now. My next step is to buy a proper mic that can work with recording onto my android.
Finally, the poem to me is about a life written and a new page turned. It looks like you denied yourself again to write the poem using simple words. One life on earth begins and another fades away. I felt like this when both my boys were born. One day I was in the maternity ward and a week later I was at the funeral home giving my last regards to a grandma my child would never know.

The poem touches my essence. In my opinion, it is about the beauty of the beginning of life and ends in the same way, but the beauty of death in the twilight of life. A good poem is when each person understands it in their own way. Thanks for sharing part of you in the prose. Greetings.

Hey, @d-pend, your meditation on the empty page summoned this to mind, by Gibran:
“Said a sheet of snow-white paper, "Pure was I created, and pure will I remain for ever. I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me."
The ink-bottle heard what the paper was saying, and it laughed in its dark heart; but it never dared to approach her. And the multicoloured pencils heard her also, and they too never came near her.
And the snow-white sheet of paper did remain pure and chaste for ever -- pure and chaste -- and empty”
Good Sunday 🙏🏼

I realize you are taking artistic license, but is 'pristinity' a word?
The state of being pristine?

Yeah, you got it @somethingsubtle. Maybe uncommon, but I'm quite doubtful I can claim it as my coinage. Seems an obvious extrapolation or something I've heard before. Just like pristination would be the process of something being rendered pristine. Basically all words can be transformed into any part of speech, especially in the realm of poetics, lol.

I tried to write a little for my teacher @d-pend
I want to pick up all the poems on earth.
I wrote back on our notes,
booklets from leaves, promise and memor
Not impossible for me and for you,
while my wings and wings blend.
My desire is your passion in time.
Then billions of poems will we write again,
with ink and holy pen, You are my inspiration today and until later @d-pend

I was wondering how can you write such poems, and what you noted above gave me a small view about how and when you get the mood to write ,

Daily practice, I am in the habit of writing a poem every day for 200 days. The differing times of day and night and different locations bring variance in the nature of the inspiration, but there is always infinite creation to be tapped into.

let the modernisation creates high class of life, and glamourity produces crowded of insanity, it is our choise to become a victim, a watcher, or hands of angel to save looser. keep staying on the bank of the river, staring on the abstract shadow, water fastly flow, ocean patiently waiting for the mountain gifts, and judge.

Dear @d-pend
I was a child who grew up after the devastating tsunami waves hit. I live with the poetry of amateurs and I'd learned to you that much in there.
First I want to say you are the one who had blood art and literature. I'd love to be a part of your literary work. Should I reward You kah a poem in your chat?
Sorry if I was too presumptuous but I want my poems read by great people like you.
Thanks a lot @ d-pend
I very much appreciate the sincerity and decision from you.

Such a classic wording with really deep meaning about the myth of life. This is so true that life is all about amusement in a materialistic world. I do agree what did you say above
Life attracts every special event but yes at the end we have to die all....
