Ineffable

 
Like the internet;
the pre-disposed characters
of life and love  - coloured with
asterisks, italics;
pressed flowers of lies;
the fingertip and the keyboard,
untying, tying bootlaces to trip over;
there is nothing really known.
 
Try to forget the sun;
the mortal warmth,
and your figurative too –
everyone disappears;
authority or not, the likely firsts;
those who bargain with time
wasting it.
 
Imagine elasticity
before its yielding last;
thoughts as connected,
as unoriginal
as just holding on,
 
then gone,
 
and all will not be lost,
for not ever being found at all.

Thank you for reading and Philipos - thank you for ploughing through! That seems a long time ago now but I have fond memories of it all coming together! x

I agree with Charles B. This is a fine poem & should be celebrated. Am still ploughing through 'Misery begins at Home' BTW, in spite of many distractions.
