rubbish man

Here it comes
a black desire
engaging me,
to bleed.
When I see
a future
It does quell.

It comes from belief
erroding my outer sheath.
Light waves
do not bounce off me
trembling
I disassemble
to a heap.
 

I the rubbish man
stinking piled up
putrid
the kind heart
the anti-cupid,
sings to black holes.

Physics demands,
that i sing to myself
fill this void
create my base
and I might tell you
praise,
before i waste.

Hello Bloke

The feeling from the poem is portrayed as a deep feeling perhaps you are going through at the moment. Needless to say your astronomical metaphors were appreciated as in physics they demand you to sing to yourself to fill the void that this poem inhibits. As you say disassembling to a heap sometimes it is in how we feel at the moment of a write that brings it out to fruition. Mona
