Layered Stones

Trapping eddies laugh to themselves

when meaningful trifles get lost to infinity;

A vast expanse of disguised monotony

trips on itself

in its race to gaze with solemnity.

A small tear engulfs

this world with its deformed pain:

A blinking light darkens to reveal itself,

flashing dreams in monochrome 

darkness;

And a heart breaks

with an indifferent empathy

and a cracked whisper:

Silent, unmourned, insatiable.
