2 o'clock of today (...and the rest of the 2 o'clocks in a lifetime)




Trample the soft-winged,
butterfly that flutter
past the sun-dried Earth
'til its satiny feel
meshes with the
cruel raggedness
of that not so long ago,
life-giving clump,
which death has found
through the scorching kiss
of the Sun

Add on the weight,
crush 'til drops of
pigments from the
dried-out veined wings kiss
the vastness of brown
lending, surrendering
the reds, and yellows, and greens
that once glinted
in all majesty with the
very kiss and golden touch
that betrayed it
to death
and once there's none
to squeeze in any more,
scoop the wings and the Earth,
no longer separate,
not anymore different entities,
no more distinct character,
but tightfully clumped
perhaps, eternally meshed
in which one's end is the other's own,
one's texture is the other's own sense of feel,
in which the other's beginning is both's start

squeeze, 'til the scent,
intoxicating in its pureness
extends into the seemingly inexistent air,
'til both color and scent,
and texture diffuse into the
air's vast expanse---
'til there's no more, 'til every part
and everything that defines both,
vanishes, gone...
but very much, equally,
particle by particle
fills the seamless expanse.
