i wonder when it will end

this grand deluge

or perhaps it is the end?

  • face

    my face is a cage

    and the doves inside are suffocating

    in a pile of their own shit

     

    my arms are broken wings

    and their featherless forms are useless

  • house

    in the mud,

    in the dirt,

    in the silt,

    in the pores of the earth,

    with the worms,

    the moles,

    the bugs,

  • life, probably

    what is the meaning of it all, anywho?

    is it part of some grand scheme, some astral plot

    to make us whole again

    some day far from now?

    perhaps, on the contrary, there is nothing;

    are we born simply to exist?
