i am nothing

of nothing

from nothing

   my skin would slip through

cr ac ks  in a Creator’s   h a nd

 


i come from black ab

stract

and will cease

there

   in ambiguous

finality

returned from

longing breaths

and

  sharp cries to

deafening     silence

 


there is no lineage

  but the afterdeath

  of stars

 


the inverse

  the universe

the canyon between

   sleep

and

                    wake

is the only place i call

 


Homeland
