always untitled

[holograph]

In this eerie contrast of needles and night
I lay in the brittle arms of

time, sulfur-yellow,
and read all those scribbles
I once made on its swollen-eye
colored canvas.

“Daddy, where do the stars come from?”
“Do time strings build cocoons and fly?”
“Was the universe born of women like me?”
“Or are we just stick figures in the sky?”

What and why am I?

What and why am I?

Time lost its grip of me.

I like what you did here - an ethereal quality that gets inside of things. I see you're back to the basic questions of philosophy (or life?) which I appreciate. It reminds me of the time when I was seven and asked an adult why the moon was following our car and he answered, "Because that's just the way it is."

My favorite lines:

heh yes, i share a similar story. i asked my dad at age 5 where the universe came from and how big it was and he just replied. it didnt come from anywhere, it always was. and that made no sense to me, and ive been confused since then. thanks jonny.
