musique concrète of wounds
“Godspeed You! Black Emperor”
drones in my silicon skyline like the saddest
most real weep ever. The musique concrète
of despair and gloom, that burns like a molten tar
simulates darkest alleys of hell
inside your cranium mysterium; something
similar to the clamor of mothers, who saw
their kids murdered; in Yemen, Syria,
Rauthahat or wherever.
But it is never about
the places.
The sound of wounds permeates our Anthropocene
like the darkest cloud of carbon aerosols.
* “Godspeed You! Black Emperor” is an experimental post-rock band based in Canada.
leaves and light of despair
The nightmares
kept coming at the speed of dark,
leaving my convexes stretched
like a synchronized swimmer
tripping on trimetazidine.
The thoughts about deaths which
are going to bloom, probably soon;
the hungover heartbreaks, and the innocent
dreams killed on a petty table-talk,
they all seem to bend my day,
like a black-hole melting with its
own space-time lingerie.
Is despair the 4th state of matter,
and also the 5th coordinate of space-time
continuum? The shadowy
ghosts of trembling leaves cover
my god of light,
and for a eureka sort of moment,
I realize shadows are
nothing but the kisses of light.
no-minding my own business
I never noticed if it all can go
go so quiet sometimes. I can almost
hear the breathes and buzzes of a
a punk-looking bug, that keeps
coming around my balcony, painted
in the color of fire, mixed with few
faces of a cremated cloud. And
that sound of the leaking faucet, remixed by
the moans of unseen
desires with wings and wheels.
Death of thoughts is the birth
of my no-mind. I see
pure nothingness morphing into
countless multiverses, before
i wake up to my
old world of decay and innocent sins.
