Today
(Music: Nagorno Mist - Vusal Zeinalov)
let me go
into a nothingness
staged out
like a passing thought
in a mind rushing to express
a solitude
scaled up
to an altitude
Icarian
trying to gaze
at the shine of that peak
unreachable
lost to the platitudes
of today
and maybe tomorrow
lost to perfection found in trash bins
and madness imagined
but misunderstood
a peak some can still reach
in averages rhyming
among notes chosen vaguely
and lines falling cloudlike
upon those same plain old surface
of expectation
unseen
