Babylon Is Fading

blank canvas painted white
white canvas painted black
black painted canvas write
what canvas painted can’t

I am hurt for you,
And the desert speaks highly
of reprisal.
Astrologers nightmare,
A sordid affair.
O look! Nibiru?
Heaven child, wild awakening.
Birth and dreams in cannibal
Vision.
Scoured simplicity sought souly
So sadness sings of its sovereignty.
Solemn word bands making oily truths
Slip from reason
And avail of the ego of birds.

City of speaking,
Wisdom and worlds.
Galaxies pining
And biding unfurled.
Beds chaste with luxury
And whimsy to cast.

Breast of the heavens,
Squeezing your milk,
Taken by gallant, garrish
Platoons.
Seeking a festival without
due parade.
Amazing the silence to which
Armageddon is played.

how long had I been gone?
how long had I been someplace else
drifting like a plank, washing ashore
covered and uncovered time and time again
buried in sands to heavy to shift

how long had I been gone..
how long had I let myself dream
without really seeing through the clouds
how long have I been outside myself
looking inside through broken windows

how long had I been me.
