Shiva
I stole my moves from Shiva
The entity dancing behind my retina
Then stubbed my toe and crashed the physics engine
Now I’m flying, forgot to mention.
Like him, I want to be dancer on the brink of destruction
Build my own reso-nation and defy all obstruction
I want to weave symbollic threads through the gaps in existence
Over the cold fabric of spacetime, to sublimate this subsistance.
These days I’ve been staring at the skies,
Burning butterflies,
Crosswise.
And turning the wheel of time counterclockwise.
Only to stare back into Death’s snake-eyes.
