Dark Matter
What is the mass of dreams or memory?
What matter
Of the universe
Allows us access to the
Incorporeal pleasures of the
Soul?
_
What corporeal costs
Are charged for every
Flight of imagination?
_
What hymns of
Nothing
Beyond the little moments
Of life unnamed
Uncategorised
Can fit into the chapters
Of common physics’ prayerbook?
_
The sight of a song
The scent of a sunset
The taste of a dream
The feel of a good story
In your hands.
The mass of cherished
Memories.
_
What is the mass to be measured
Of all the unseen matter
Of the universe?
Unseen but felt
All the same.

Christmas Tree
Christmas tree curbside done with living room season waiting for trash truck. I don't even put a Christmas tree in the living room. But when I see the trees on the curb, near the trash bin, waiting for pickup, it makes me sad. Maybe I see a metaphor in it, the way it is discarded when the season is over.
