words

Disappear

As I try to capture them

The thoughts

The essence of thought, 

the granular resolution

Of all these pixels of being

I feel as I feel

But how, how to translate

This deeply embedded

Solitary, subjective, experiential

Ripple

That moves through me

To another

I listen to and observe your love

And although I know, intrinsically, definitively,

That I am I and I begin and end in the same sentence

My sentience is speculative at best

That I am not the same

I cannot fill certain voids

All undulations of meaning are defined by the depths of their nulls

Everything is this way, it is the universal BIOS

and versed as I am

In the ultimate powerlessness to it all

I burn in the current 

Of all this processing

Another wire or strand or link

Dissipating purpose as heat

Do not speed read 

Inhale every word

For each was crafted, chosen

From the small inventory of communication

That is available to this wavering spirit
