Here are
as we see we
go here
through a slippery
crack here is ex
nihilo here
is a taste of some
parallel para-
llel here is
flesh
mortified by faith-
less oxymoron
blind eye
chord a bar
of reverb-
erant joy here
is beauty
undefined
within a gaze
a smile
this stark un-
knowingness
like the line breaks
like the line breaks ;)
almost runs together too much in some spots, though? was it intentional?

absolutely
Lately, I'm interested in how life, perception and the so-called unconscious "run together" so much, in ways we don't even seem to realize. So I'm trying to capture something with a kind of verbal rhythm, even to the point of breaking the rhythm purposefully somewhere past the middle to twist it around a bit. On the other hand, I know a lot of people would look at something like this as being mostly incomprehensible. But a poet's got to stretch a bit too, no? The big question for me is, can non-verbal expression ever be fully captured in an entirely verbal format such as poetry? I'd like to think so, but if it is - will anybody even notice?
the line breaks
do a good job of controlling the reader. i'm trying to decipher what you mean about nonverbal expression...to me, this piece conveys...one of those moments...when you don't really know... what to...or how to...
I'm still trying to decipher
I'm still trying to decipher that myself. It's the unconscious, outside the realm of language but swirling all around our thoughts and perceptions, unnoticed. It's the fullness of life, stifled by language.
