Poem "Dusk"

is this a test? / what do you want from me?
getting closer to collapsing / something's getting closer to happening
it's not a question / not if, but when
it doesn't make much sense / but there's an inevitability in the dissonance

is this a question? / if what you're saying is relevant / then the answer is yes
your harmony / is our symphony / is the the first note of this rhapsody
reach the crest of infinity / and turn away / this is how i'm gonna play it
it has to be this way

i'm keeping my eyes open / even though that bypass shorts the imagination
can't disappear into virtual reality / until you've written the equation
the sky fills with smoke / like octopus ink in a liquid globe
the walls of this room / used to be dark blue / now the canvas is black
your darkness / is my dawn / is the door in to the jumping off point

on the verge of insanity / on the verge of despair
almost falling off from the top of the stairs
but it's not over / we're turning a corner / curving to approach infinity
the rainbow paint dries / and your tears become tattoos
and the next time that you open your eyes
you know exactly what you want

is this a question? / if and when and infinity
the answer to everything is yes

Well...

...I am still alive. I have just been lacking the combination of clarity and motivation to add anything here, lately. But I have some drafts that I may finish soon...
