![]() PacingA Poem by James S![]() I started out talking about the corruption of Nature by mankind but after a while I just started writing down random stuff in my head that sounded poignant.![]() As I pace restless between two posts I think on the corruption of nature by civilization. A behemoth of concrete and brick lie before me. The river
had many connections. In the tops
of the invisible trees of my mind dance elves and fairies, a gypsy wake
celebrating the former lives of blutaparon rigidum, nesiota elliptica, and many
others. I pace
endlessly with a troubled mind, eventually reaching the second post and must turn
around. Inside my
mind I feel many things: anger, fear, and an indescribable third emotion which
plagues my nights. The shadows
around me colonize my thoughts and I am left blind. The water flows over the bridge. The rolling
hills carry to the city new life. I stand on
the bridge gazing at the red and blue cardio-pulmonary system of Los Angeles
traffic and weep tears of blood. The river
has new connections. They cover the
world with straight lines, if they could they would say it is flat. People in
white coats separate the elements with their cold apparatus. The results feed them their limitless heresy. Their end will come, the dawn will break, in a
cold winter’s night in Boston. I return to
the first post. © 2015 James SAuthor's Note
