LAMENTATIONS

by David Eide

Weave together poet, one world filled with the sounds of madness, of wild energies that will take you to the edge of what would destroy you.

And just before you are destroyed poet, capture the instant that reveals the depth of beauty; its structure flows beneath the captured world. Then, poet, the other world that is always in front of you has its own brand of eternity. A fierce and habitual world revealed when a people realizes that they are living a lie. The mind, poet, is reduced like pebbles that roll from one small current to the next. Money, money, money, and dreams , dreams, dreams, create the world you must occupy.

Money and its motive power and dreams their creative energies; let them clash in you poet like ancient armies. Rush through the day so you do not get burned. Smell the acuteness of death in both worlds and learn to survive.
