Thin

There are rumors of this man
He doesn't have a face
Maybe it's the sandstorms
Maybe it's the empty space
There are portraits of him that span
Whole seas in the ocean of death
Maybe he's banded from paper
Maybe so, but it's who's guess
There's a tale of another he met
Who actually saw right through him
Maybe there's ghosts in his veins
Maybe he's never been called a name
By those who may have knew him
When he rides by
 he holds his hands
Because while passing
He sees the wind
He sees all of naught within
And sees it's absent plans

Woolen ball

I look into a ball of felt
Running nanotubes
Running bridges 
Freestanding 
Fully pretending 
To help or hinder

I think about blowing them up 
Lest a more malfarious tinder
Take the blame first
But it is a ball of fluff

And as soon as thoughts
Fail to linger
Here they are thrown 
Into jungle 
Into swamp
Rusted through
Forgotten
Grounded through millenia
Of living sludge

I look no more and place 
In my pocket
Memento me later
Memento men to me
To fall and die to me
In a hospitable catcher of flies
Fully epuipped with lip
And soft ties
And even softer eyes
Even softer eyes

So soft I never saw
Like the very heart of darkness
Meant only to cone 
And undo
The due to 
Be done
