A Stellar Feast (Delight)

Dirty January memory- I don’t know,

Just keep writing, it feels good-

And isn’t that all this measly mind can ask for?

A sliver of pleasure amongst the chaos-

Even blind eyes got to point at something

And pretend they’re looking at it-

-

Just Keep Writing, It Feels Good - The Sun Will Eat You, Too

Lost listlessness derives from sudden solitude-

Frantically smacking meat in the freezer…

I become nothing forever, whatever, it’s fun.

At times we find

That the eternity of the universe

Exists in the boundaries

Of possible infinite rainbows, delight-

-

Keep writing, it feels good.

Let it spill out like chocolate volcanos.

The love of the universe cradles me,

I am nothing but a silly dream-

A dirty memory

Of a long ago Monday in January…

The meat feels so good

When you smack it just right-

Chocolate Volcano Flowers - The Sun Will Eat You, Too

-

Goodnight my sweet blind children,

I wish you nothing more but heaven,

Delight, and pleasure-

The treasure of consciousness is wisdom,

The light from epochs ago, you know,

It’s fantastic,

Don’t let it slip away

In silly electronic glowing flowers,

It’s here now, alive and eternal,

It’s fucking splendid, I say-

-

Take it from this moldy decade-old remnant

Of a dirty January dream from the late Eighties-

The world is beautiful-

The loops of consciousness are eternal-

The reality you molt and stress within

Is but a bleep inside nothing, and nothing else

Could contain such a magnificent truth-

The Sun Will Eat You, Too.

This is temporary. It passes into time

Into gravity

Into death, it falls asleep.

The Sun Will Eat You Too - Stellar Feast by BW Derge - poem

-

So be grateful and enjoy what a blessing

This time on Earth might be-

Beautifully nothing,

Signifying infinite bliss,

If you remember nothing else:

Know that I love you so much.
