ventriloquist earth 2


eclipse

Recommended Posts

One human life, a tear falling finitely

from ventriloquist earth, the stuttering

breath of solipsism chuntering about

war. A whale screams in the ocean,

a tear that briefly belongs to death, time

his hand puppet will not accord with

the umbilical cord of the false womb

of earth' s electric lights. From a distance

the moon moves the tides, an archetype

marooned is raised closer to the collective

mind of man, perhaps a supernatural injection

coming to fruition. A rocket lands on the moon,

the blindfold of history's tapestry falls from

the eyes of the world.
