Entropy ��s Inside
January 5, 2005
so you ��d have me tell you of wisdom then?
when you ��ve found your love dead, her long black hair gone pale
muted below the silver of the frog-pond, when you ��ve found his hand
raised to the lips of another, forgetting forever your eyes
when you ��ve found their patient wasps �� nest crushed against your skin
caring only for your physical, laying spider ��s seed inside
carving a pattern of runnels under your skin, burrowing in
perhaps then you ��ll come back to me, and ask of this again
perhaps then we ��ll have words, each for the other
and call it wisdom
you ��d have me tell me of my learning, I who am not wise beyond my years
nor saturated with ambition, content to move along, moving along
perhaps a submission built right in, lay down, never fight
and there wisdom begins
so you ��d have me tell you of wisdom then
burn tears across my silks, ruin my parlor with the immolation of you question?
know then my answer is a needle, taking back the spider ��s poison, sucking it in
and when all is suppuration and rot, expelling the lot entire, conflagration
burning down self ��s barriers, beginning again expecting no different pattern
wisdom is trust without trusting, without reason to trust, bidding infection ��s welcome
knowing that pain is a mantle of glass, derived of echoes, loved words fading
wisdom is the back end of a gun, tracking targets where none have been before
knowing that shame is enamel betrayal, free targeting entropy eyes
how everything ends, how everything ends
how everything begins when you breathe out, release poison spun like glass
mix humor with your hate, laughter with your desperation
set down the weapon, set down the weapon
how everything begins by knowing the nest, knowing the spider
and you ��d have me tell you wisdom was a won thing, gained ground
but I ��d say you lie, and my acceptance is the fighting
always to begin, always to begin
