It never matters who we are, nor where our bodies are in space. It's all one thing. It moves and perpetuates without our control. There is no puppet master. There are no strings. There is no God. Even self-satisfied science is mostly guesswork. Words like "love", "God", "fact", or "mine" are just useless sound vibrations in the ever-changing omnipotency of what our mouths call "The Universe." I must be completely insane to keep writing after that sentence. Luckily for me, I am. At once, I am also lucky to have the 2 or 3 wonderful readers I do. You few wonderful beings, wherever in space/time you may be, this is for you:

The Snowblind Prophecy
The little mouse runs fast
Through the slick
Glowing green slime brick
Of the sewers of the city
This Christmas night
Sprinting frantically
To slip and evade
The yellow teeth
Of long crusty rats
Who would
Tear his little body
Apart without care
Dodging the many
Who would
Ravage him
With grace and ease
He speeds hard
Bounding as fast
As his tiny legs allow
Ignoring all
Pain and weather
Shooting through holes
The size of dimes
His tiny heart pounding
An engine of fear
A time bomb of disease
A nameless virus
In his veins
Hope the runt dies
Without breeding
He carries the means
To our end
Unknowingly.
The last white tiger
Of Christmas future
Walks slowly through
The Siberian snow
On old cold joints
A thousand hunts behind her
She never was a Mother
Only a hunter
A sentry of kills
She never knew love
She was driven
Only by
Thirsty hunger
And awesome will
Her legs tire and freeze
She lays down to sleep
For the last time
Blending into the blinding
Ice white plain
Forever.
More than a
Million miles away
Light years
From where you are
Something no human
Has ever seen
Sees you.
Unknowingly
Forever
Sees you
Unknowingly
You see
Forever.
