these memories unfold so quickly
and always go unnoticed
like a blossoming lotus
merely crowded by insects, maintaining
some intimate balance
we are not aware of at the present
how things can be forgotten
even when exuding rotten stench
can represent the many ways a thing can die
and never be wanted again
it's true that we are famished
poisoned by this nectar,
and haunted by the spectre
which never truly vanished,
but only changed in form
the scarlet worm you may have stepped on
and shall never recollect
may be the reason why the earth is so shallow
and why it can reflect
a certain sense of idiocy, in following
these misguided souls through harrowing,
rushing to disconnect
self interest and why heads can be so hollow
without meaning disrespect,
indeed they may have fallen prey to the sole

forgetting is never really forgettin, it's remember in a different light. a light the gives it new properties all together, where though you maybe try to see it as it was, it what it is and has yet to become.
ReplyDeleteit's a metaphor for the battle of ideologies, and how easily they are misinterpreted, the most profound often ignored...in a sort of 'hell is other people' kind of mood.
ReplyDeletehell IS other people. you can choose how much you let it matter, though. or so i believe... for now.
