Disconnect

I came from nothing

My neighboring nothingness said it was actually no thing, but semantics

Roles to play in moons to cycle

Noon, a concept the runes stir about in the sand grains

Building castles to view the collapse

Homes upon fault lines

Fragile glassware on shelves beside volcanoes

These creatures of flight land upon me, I stir yet regain composure

Imagine you are the conduit for these animals to play on

An extension of the seed, rockets like arms like branches in windstorms

I will fall someday

So my partner says

It appears the fate of this nothing is to become a part of the pile

Entangled in the prongs of a rake

Disintegrate while laughter emanates

Is that me?

I thought I was nothing

Appearances become a disappearing act

The magic seems to reside in the lava

We fear will melt our nothingness

Into more no things

That sprout back up

In perennial bliss of irony.
