the glass broke in every direction
fanned out, a road map
leading to Rome, a sharp-edged hole
where glimmering shards gave way
to the rock thrown, the rock thrown

i clip a butterfly's wings off
and sob as it flails about;
metamorphosis reversed
means less than nothing.
sophism of god, the first capitalism
stock exchange fault lines lead back to the throne,
the rock thrown.

eternity eats its own tail
and ties a knot in infinite cross-hairs
ready aim fire
crescent moons slide under the shadow of death
in the valley of space and time
continua are these pesky split-ends.


what ever could we begin? rolling a stone
like that, cascading through the levels of reality
as if we were mighty! flightless, without tooth or nail
we patter like the leak of faucets,
echoed in a sink with dishes, ceramic, color of bone,
the rock thrown.
leaving this chapter.

it is a great piece to describe and show a lost feeling were you just could not find a way out but you did make one mistake it requires you to kinda see it as the author would which some people would not understand the way the poem is supposed to have one them because of how you chose you words it a higher leveled piece then what most people as subjected to on a day to day bases that is not a bad thing ether it just means if you were to make a book of poems you ether have to put it as simply poems then slowly build up to poems like this or put it in a college textbook for you to make a profit and it slims your chances of people that would feel how you feel when you wrote it
