Perpetuating the Universe

                                                                  

 

Every day I awaken,

Capable of writing my precious fresh breaths

Onto time's myriadly erased, crazily displaced palimpsest,

Is an occasion for grandiose celebration . . .

A glorious way of proving the perpetuity of the universe,

Confirming my earthly stay,

For one more double circumambience of the clock face . . .

A majestic manifestation of my eternal presence

Amidst the cacophonous dark forces of apocalypse,

Which would eclipse my vital light, in nanoseconds,

Were I to send word that my words are worthless surrogates

And that I'm ready to deny all accountability for them,

Capitulate to silence, for the rest of my destiny's nights . . .

The ultimate rebuke, negation of ashes and dust,

For at least the next twenty-four hours . . .

My "I refuse to give up, let go, surrender, succumb

To the numbing cessation of the sum of my poetic sum" . . .

My aggressive "yes" to my spirit's soulful progress.
