To Take Refuge in Some Mirage

"To Take Refuge in Some Mirage" - poem by BW Derge written in 2024

Remember when we used to write

To get out of our head?

Those were the good old days,

When you’d rather be in words

Instead of in the mind racing

Competing against thoughts

As they wrangle emotional bulls

It’s a bunch of bullshit when you think about it,

So stop thinking already

And get out of your head

Through the typing fingers

Racing faster than the fear

Hunting the wounded steer-

I want to go back

To when hammering

Keyboard keys

Was the single

Most beautiful

Liberating thing-

Take me back

To when I felt

Like a Cosmic King…

But the universe is

Just a decayed statue

About to fall into the sea

And become nothing

But sand again...
