Empirical Spherical




In the sphere where clouds are formed

How high? Out of eye-

sight

Is where mind over matter mixes its

Potion

Something

from nothing-

Empty

As a periwinkle sky

filled purely with a howling wind

that you can feel in your

Bones

like rain

and gravity, the weight, and desire of

Still... 

the plane pierces through the dark wall

and

Nothing was there

After

All.

Depth perception



With ten thousand neurons 

in one single suction cup 

on an octopus tentacle,


could even you imagine

what it would feel like

when touching

No contact-

like eye contact.


There may be a nest 

of tangled live wires


behind the wall

behind our masks


we are currents

of electricity.


And as the eel shocks every-

thing but itself-


we have so many blind spots 

not baited eye-

spots-as fish-


Don't you wish 

chameleon when needed to be

or to know so much

feeling


with only the lightest touch...

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
