10/16
when i fade,
don't let me go
when will you go? when will you become quondam? what will the clock say?
time holds no answers
i'll find out when i see
the black hole stars and
when the moon is drenched with me
with me
with my words
with my atman
with me
how will i remember? how will i remember the dripping moon? how will i remember the vortexes that consume the body? how will i remember when i'm drizzling asteroids and ingesting nebulae? how will i remember when gaia returns me to her womb?
through your cords
through the baritones
and the altos
and the sopranos
through the chiming orchestra
and the melodious conductor
through your hands
through the ink
and the tree you hold
through the words of your future
through the words of yesterday
how do you think they remembered cobain?
how do you think they remembered cleopatra?
through voices
through words
through later
and through yesterday
i may fade,
but i'll still be here
if you hold on
