Enquiet

Enquiet

Pages flutter under my pen

words get tangled inbetween

phantoms of flowers shimmer along the ground

as rifts of light, pink, yellow, blue

There is nothing here

But somehow it’s peaceful

Why is that?

When there is earth devoid of life

seeing ephemeral lights

dance around you in hope

somehow is consoling, assuring

while blizzards just erase anything

that could ever materialize

dragging you back again

to the cold of your heart

A sneeze escapes me, and

I put my helmet back on

They may not be real flowers,

but perhaps I’m allergic

What is there to say?

Obviously there’s no one here

no one to ask

to make reports and documents

from the inferred is to be

no better than a fantacist

but I suppose that’s what

I’ll have to be in order

to document the paths of the Andromeda

As the first place along my stop

there is not much else to say

the flowers present themselves as illusions

the sky paints itself blue

What next, now?
