ATOMS
ATOMS
COLLUDING IN EACH OTHERS CREVICES
AND ECHOING THEIR
HOLLOW MUSIC
INTO AND WITHOUT
THE CRYSTAL CONSERVATION.
THIS ATOM IS ALONE
IS AT SEA IN A STRANGE
WORLD WHERE THE
COHESIVE RESIN THAT CEMENTS
THE SANITY OF THE UNIVERSE
IS AWAY, FAR FAR AWAY.
THE ATOM IS THEN
A PYRAMID WITHOUT A BASE
SPELL LESS AND SPELLBOUND
A PRAIRIE WITH NO
MEN AND HORSES
IN UTTER ISOLATION
DESOLATE AND BARE.
THIS ATOM HAS NO MOLECULES
NO CHAIN REACTION
NO SYNTAX!
AND THE ATOM IS WEAK
PERFORCE DEFENSIVE
AND WITHOUT THE STRENGTH TO
COMBINE AND FLOW INTO
LIFE.
AND THE ATOM MAY BE
A VAIN (WITHOUT RHYME OR
REASON) ATOM THAT
MERELY BRINGS CLOUDS
OR CONFUSION IN ITS WAKE.
THIS ATOM IS GOING TO REMAIN
AN ATOM IN PAIN
UNTIL THE CHASAMS ARE FILLED
NAY FLOODED, AND IT
GETS THE STRENGTH TO STAND
UP TO LIFE.
UNTIL THEN ANY BOND
WITH THIS ATOM WILL BE FRAIL,
WITHOUT RHYME OR REASON,
WITHOUT CONSISTENCY
WITHOUT TRUTH, WITHOUT BEAUTY.
SO IS YOUR BEAUTY
WASTED ON THIS
FRACTURED ATOM
LIVING IN THE DUSTBIN
OF EXISTENCE.
