I fear my nebular shadows might taint the stillness of white clouds
The parched troposphere is parching my humid breath, my humid body
Suspended in the air
A borehole is running out of fluid
I hear the music of pendulum galloping
tearing used papers, scratching empty walls
whispering I couldn’t write no more
My stagnant hands seek through the clamor for clarity
I sniff my hazes, I sniff my sobs
Is that what you really want?
They say to me
My glare screams and breaks the concrete silence
The clock detonates, spewing time spewing incarcerated words
spewing pieces of myself
Like a newborn’s howl as it enters life,
declaring the world that it is alive
Surging in the chasms of every pallid day, of every pallid life
For I am a newborn now, howling to the moon of its darkness & light
A quickie poem for such a high and dry day
Sublime Eli 👌

Hello Eli,
I agree with elisgraci! The last line of your poem entitled “THE CLOCK DETONATES” is particularly effective:
The line also resonates well with the first line in your “About” page: “A true-born gemini, has profound love and fascination for the moon”.
Here’s my poetic response to your post:
Glare screams, concrete breaks and clock detonates
SoundEagle ponders, comments then resonates
A newborn is howling to the moonlight
Thus declaring my name as moon tonight
For more resonance under the moonlight, and given your love of the moon, you are cordially invited to visit a special lunar-centric post awaiting your glowing countenance at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/if-my-name-were-moon-tonight/
May you enjoy to your heart’s content!

This is a beautiful poem Eli. It tells me about your painful parts breaking out of cage and healing and you going beyond time and rebirth makes you a new baby again–like Moon’s rebirth as dark phase ends and bright starts. I didn’t know about Chinese new year beginning tomorrow. Thanks ❤
