Cimetière sans Nom

Cimetière sans Nom 

 

Talking to the vacant Pouring, 

what no one hears

 Memories, not amiss

Forgetting no fears

And that talk, it dies. 

 

Getting back to self 

Outer self, for world to see 

Chores to do, results to show 

Even to self, to fill the hallow 

And that hallow, the vacant, it dies. 

 

Search for life, light soul 

The books of positivity 

The words of saints, abegging 

Wise letters of gold 

Those books, words, letter, they die. 

 

The time passing by 

Divided, as if finite 

The now, which matters 

Others, to burn the lot 

Easier said, yet time, it dies. 

 

Occupying the vacant, in and out 

The space, we think of our own 

Encroached, with thoughts 

Come frolic, some to moan 

We think of our own, yes 

Until the space, is no more. 

 

The light of direction 

The light of enlightening 

The giver of life, when it takes instead 

No hope to rescue 

The fire, spent on dead 

The light, the fire, just died. 

 

Yet you look for 

What lost long back 

Expecting to get again 

Trying the cliched hack 

Bemoaning when drunk 

Aware it won’t help 

Hiding behind the laugh, when high 

Cloud as smokescreen, when you fly. 

 

The talk, the hallow, the letters 

Died not in vain but just 

The time, the space, the fire 

No more in fist or dust. 

 

Yet they exist, same place where buried 

Same place where help high, once 

Where they ruled the lives of mortals in disdain 

And played their endgame 

In the cemetery of no name.
