what is civilisation, but poetry
spilled upon the lip of darkness;
what is darkness, but sense of thought;
what is light, but to be imagined
lost; what is space unmoving but moving
void as held as unheld moving thru;
what is a bullet, but a tree;
what is a root, but fate at war
with fate; what is war, but cast;
what is peace, but deceit;
what is love, but brutality;
what is kindness, but necessity;
what is need, but hunger;
what sates death, but your kiss?
