Poem: Translucent Light

Increasingly, I write poems, too. Here's one I wrote today. It's a bit sad, but good.

I think.



Translucent Light


Another day together

Translucent, dark green

The windows, the windows

Let down the light; betray the rays

Motes cling to clothes

To hair, to space, drifting

Hope rides eddies of silence 

Currents of too-warm air

The creak of the door

Food is prepared in another room

The vent clanks day and night

Time passes

Pulse

The clock

Motes

Memories

Uproarious parties

Love and laughter

Rock and roll; joy

All those kisses atrophied to this

A pestilential husk

Not so fucking cocky now, Mister. Hair, like hope, all gone

End it now, end it 

Why walk on to end up back here?


Another day together

Translucent, dark green

The windows, the windows

Let down the light; betray the rays

Motes cling to clothes

To hair, to space, drifting

Hope rides eddies of silence 

Currents of too-warm air

Food. Another room

The vent clanks

Time passes

A cough

The clock

Motes

Memories

Uproar

Love

Rock and roll; joy

All those kisses 

A pestilential husk

Not so fucking cocky now, Mister.Hair, like hope, all gone

End it now, end it 

Why walk on when you’ll only end up back here?

End it

Another day 

Translucent, dark green

The windows

Let down the light

Motes cling

To hair, to space, drifting

Hope rides. 

Food. Another room.

The vent 

Time passes

A cough

The clock

Motes

Memories

Uproar

Love

Rock and roll; joy

Kisses 

Pestilence

Not so fucking cocky, hope all gone

End it now, end it 

Why walk on?


Another

Translucent, dark

Windows

Let down light

Motes 

Space, drifting

Hope rides 

Food. 

The vent 

Time 

The clock

Motes

Memories

Rock and roll; joy

Kisses 

Pestilence

Hope

End it now

Why walk on?


Another

Translucent

Window

Light

Motes drifting

Hope. Food. 

Time 


Memories

Rock and roll; joy

Kisses 

End it

Why walk on?


Translucent window

Light drifting

Hope. Time 


Memories, joy

Kisses 

End it


Translucent light

Hope. 

Memories

Kisses 


Translucent light. 

Memories

Kisses 


Translucent light 

Kisses 


Translucent light 


Translucent light
