I was born
starving
and the world
could only muster up
a colorless blanket
of Time
in which it wrapped me
…while I’m slowly
fainting
in its folds.

I was born

and the world

a colorless blanket
of Time
in which it wrapped me
…while I’m slowly
fainting
in its folds.

The night sat on my face
like the smelly old ass
of a rotten moon
just on the day
I’ve been fired from life
wandering off on the cliffs
of who knows what conundrum
and joyfully composing the silly
gooey poetics of a drunken soul
I recall writing something about
the foulness of philosophical systems
or the moans of relic religions;
whatever it was,
the night and its greasy weight
sat on my face
like the spits of moonshine
that drunks burp out
on the face of a
lonesome hour.

Does it come late
to define
this old reality
with all the
unusual
words
unearthed
at the other
side
of
the
lonely
human
soul.

Inaccessible trees
stand in the fog
as the limits to my world,
a fog dense and metaphysical
trees alien as my cavernous thoughts
a few brave lifeless sticks emerge from the snow
the milky wind brushing
whitening them slowly
with the impassible oblivion
that has set in,
an ivory spell
led astray into this cold nook
of washed away eternity,
while I’m encapsulated
in the immobility
of this white extraneous soul
a pleasing despair
that is felt
after each
footstep in the ice.

More Poetic Scenery: Nihilistic Poetry

This is the first step
into a wide open world
the toes stepping on frosty ledges
in an abandoned city
with closed eyes everything is ownerless
then the wispy breeze
then the last leaf of the last tree
then your hand in your inside pocket
hopelessly seeking the tobacco pipe
and the curled tobacco tatters
that will accompany you through
the long twisted journey of smoke and ash;
and while this can be a dream
another broken dimension of subjectivity
you can still feel the rubber of the shoe
stepping on the frigid pavement without cars
the shadows of street signs
wrapping around angles and grayness
as the horizon grows dim with sudden silence
the eyes watery, glorious, unbelieving
of the eternity of being lost and free
in an abandoned city
hidden somehow
in a wide open world.

Narrow
split sensuality
the arrow of an orgasm
thrusting forth through the tugged
claustrophobias of a deserted capitalist
and in the end of this unending moment
surfeit with the agony of every pleasure
the subtle residue of erroneous streets
and these nihilistic loves
cosmically lost on a sidewalk
becoming ready to cease
a Sunday lost and irrecoverable
like the black dream of tomorrow
in the wintery existence of an elliptical life
these all these fortunate routines
some of the death
that whispered in the ear
of the mute man that
no longer wanted to see.

The afternoon came as an uninvited guest
in the midst of my being nothing,
the amputated pieces of sky I could see
together with the regret of two trees
beyond the damp window
seemed like the tortured bell of noon
breaking the spell of a sleeping happiness
in the midst of my being nothing,
the possibility of daylight and tepid airs
of a world altogether alien and outside
marred the fictions of my desires:
the slow inactivity of self
irrelevantly smiling to the amusements of time
but this light catalyzing the contours of weak objects
like a cold wave reaching the feet of my dream
in the midst of my being nothing,
the noise of what is external!
to exist no longer as a particle in the stream
but as an invisible swirl in the drift
layers of inaudible music
as the touch of night
in the midst of my being nothing,
rooftops like the written words
of forgotten minutes
outside, alike, trembling

I have chosen darkness
in it
poetry swells,
literature breeds
dark and oppressive
I breathe in an atmosphere of coal
black ash swarms in metaphors and
contradictions
beating heart that’s become
sullen with life
I choose obscurity
like the ambiguous rose
within an unmovable abyss
I choose the ungraspable void
where borders and objects
interfuse with phantasmagorical thoughts
leaving no content, awaiting an obscure name –
in this dark dream
the Mysterious
is like wine
flowing through the veins
of whatever I am.
