For the Love of Knowledge

 


Grasping the being of becoming,
the gravity of harmony sang, she said,

your instant nostalgia for me will fade 
in the terrible beauty of time.

And splash!

My little mermaid well and truly vanished.

*

The tough little mermaid hung out to dry,

the refuted ideas reinforced for sheer
disharmony.

Ways are lurking
behind the door she left ajar

for whirlwinds, epiphanies,… 

Fountains of blood!
Squirting from leveled necks!

The soundness of logic, evidence, none
of this decapitator science

will stop the ringing inside your ear?


*

Washed-out noise 
beseeching the void

of speech 

and still, a pair of desires

converge on one and the same 

impossible.
