Shapes of Nothing
~It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs. I was watching a movie and I thought The events unfolding to be impossible But then I thought it is supposition Looking on I grew quiet within myself I considered the chain of causality Required to bring the scenario about I noticed what they have in common That it is actually the pointlessness Irrelevant for the same difference Reason is understood through a lens Like all human things articulable Reason finds its roots in absurdity And so I came to see this very world Washing forth like waves upon a beach Where the waves are a part of the sea Distinguishable for having a pulse In my mind I saw the harp reverberate Ephemeral fingers picking the strings While water was flowing over them Shaking loose to burst after each pull I could almost taste the sweet sound Like watching prismatic light in a pool I closed my eyes as I laid back my head Upon the phantasmal dreams of spirits For the reason for waking and sleeping Blended into one and the same medium Like that of the melodious ocean waves Playing behind the curtains of existence

What are words without understanding and what is understanding without sense?
