FLASHBACK

Prism weakens the anamnesis

Of another past

Hoarded in memory.

No sight for the thirst

Ascending the stairs

In electric visions.

A damaged metaphor

And divine splintering

At the edge of the world.

Fragmented promises

Future already past

Signals you home.

ABIDING

Waiting for your

Resurrection

In the damaged

Allegory of utopia.

Hope rejuvenates

The retrospect of

Memories stored

In another past.

Anxiety orbits

Amidst the constellations

Aching to return

To the ordinary world.

WAYFARING

City rain breathing

Radiation from the storm clouds

As tar black feather balls

Disguise the avenue.

Ghosts in the metropolis

Leer from empty buildings

Poisonous tomb stones

Rising in the shadows

Devout of humanity

Lifeless and forsaken

On what journey

The victim returns?
