let me out or destroy me by Matthew Sharpin the small moments
i create texture by removing the measuring devices
seconds into nano seconds
into the unconscious rolling out of the entire element of time
so even a brief moment with you is better than none.
: let me out or destroy me :
in the lull
i create calloused absence by adding endless measuring devices
minutes seem like hours, days like eons
into an unconscious stillness unable to bridge the gap between point A and point B.
So even a brief moment away is better than none. 09/02/2007 Posted on 09/02/2007 Copyright © 2024 Matthew Sharp

Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 09/03/07 at 07:30 AM Yes. Whenever possible...that "unconscious rolling out of the entire element of time"--that is the key to everything... and to this poem-- a wonder. The matching stanzas and concepts--hourglass perfect in construction and effect. |
