wishful fountain

an aimless
life, such as
this leading to no
where’s no
thing destination. some
where in the middle.
familiar like waking
without sleeping.

emptiness dreamt, colored
blind. murals of thought
bleakened with wishful
paint. wistful. wasteful
and tasteless the ashes
that remain.

wish then, within
this fountain. penniless.
stilled water not running,
nor deeply flowed. flawed
reflection perfect. perfect
defect in silent states.
gravity of graves. stone-like
membraned ice. subbed zero
in primed number. an integer
of integrity. how to measure
retreating tides idly marched
toward backwaters of muddied
mind. my study of time.
space voided by soundless voice.
choice this pro-life aborted
mission. statement of intent.
I will survive
even if it kills me.
