Uh-huh M!ch!gan

Bereft of Explanation In Account of Having Known

The absent mind wanders
In the limitless naught..
Still, it should be discovered
Should its presence be sought.

The absent body loomed–
Lest its sight be something caught..
The blossoming continues
As the grains of body rot.

These deadened endings
Turn to me and ask if
I’m the relief they seek

In a mumbled reply
I traverse my eyes
Through words I barely breathe

Inside this cloud
Of doubting mouths
Lie the falsities they seek

Shrouded by
Curvaceous sounds
They have found faith in me

I wish I were only
Pretending to sleep
Then again, my chest
Wouldn’t have been
Nearly as deep

And I might not have captured
Such Invasive Wonder
Had I only been inside
A one-eyed
Slumber
