Like a kettle of cast-iron black
soiled with bits of last night’s stew
bits of red yellow and white
things which can’t be identified
electrons with reluctance flow
metal with incandescent bright
cast hot beams of unearthly glow
piercing through the dark of night
anguish rips within the soul
as the neurons fail within
laughter bright does fade away
vague dimness now does reign
snow does fall beyond the screen
on a bright new summer day
somewhat puzzled knowing not
under standing has faded away
compass pointing somewhat north
as electrons dance in Van Allen’s belts
moving curtains of flowing a light
mysteries somehow calling bright
sleep does flee within the night
as tattered dreams slip away
seeking meanings now not known
torn visions lost within
