Poem 22
Sllllooooooooowww
Never once feeling like not one
Thing not two things
But to the very definition
Absolute in number and in sum
nothing
Zero
It was the amnesia of ever
Existing
Forgetting what shape my matter
Liked to take form
Collecting my mass from the palm
Of my hand to the nape of my neck
Just to remember the sheer will it
takes to move a breathing body
It’s the readings done on the
Paleozoic Era and letting
The wild slithering, creeping, crawling
majestic creatures, rule your mind
For a respite in time.
Pondering how they had their moment
And wondering if this is how they feel
To be ancient and long gone
