reincarnation.osi


' calling names '

theta tends to zero
before resurrection
something must have died

in the calculus of life
death entered the equation
like a partial fraction

didn't kill our ' yesterday '
that was already dead
' today ' was a phoenix

dead hallucination
live actuality
wings of agony & joy

you called it perception
they called it a ghost
i called it life

was it civilization ..

/ original / z.g.

[ Ed -
Line 6 :- it didn't kill ' yesterday '
Line 11 :- sums of agony or joy
Line 15:- wasn't that civilization

:- restructured stanza 1 /
re-titled - - ' calling names '

    hi moe ,.

    .. neither death , nor disappearance nor oblivion
    just an attempt at reading the story of civilization _

    - - which has various descriptions / & is ( possibly ) variously understood .. thanks for liking it ! ..

    I love death being consigned to a partial fraction status in the sweep of time. This piece vibrates in its logic!
