Poetics

So yeah, I've been busy writing poetry on Lit Kicks. I figure I should probably post the stuff here too, just so the place doesn't look so barren. And you can bet your boots that I'll be posting the best ones as PDFs on DA in the summer. I just realized that I'm going to be one busy motherfucker in the summer. I've got some music projects lined up for then too, and hopefully I'll be able to work my electronic music software, and if not I'll use Audacity or some shit. So my Soundcloud will have stuff on it too.

Anyway, here's one of my poems, "Sunrise Library". Oh also I'm poetpunk on Lit Kicks.

Sunrise Library

Step through the door
to the Sunrise Library
and indulge
in solar delight,

Open a book on the
Secrets of Sunbeams
or the tome of the
Moon Rainbow,

Lets delve
into the Archive
to see ancient
sunbeams that have
yet to pierce
the depths of space
to become a star on some distant planet,

But let's look beyond the basics
and in to the shadow of the Sun
and see a darker side of light,

Prying apart the folios and archives
to see how our so called "holy sun"
sears and slays it's own worshipers
whilst entropic decay has it's way
with the solar structure,

Slowly the Sun expands
and eats the messenger of
gods long since abandoned
and turns another into
a melting mess,

Ra keeps reaching out
from beyond the stars
but Apophis is a step
and a half behind
with entropic decay
and deadly gamma rays,

So it seems
the Egyptians
weren't so far off
the mark after all
for one day the sun will be swallowed,

But till then
let's enjoy this sunrise
from atop this
Heliopolis
named
The Sunrise Library.
