No Reflection
In the mirror of who I am
Only the appearance of
The shell of a soul carrier
Lost in the vacuum
A vampire of inquiry
Drawing from
Empty vessels
A glitch in the glitch
In the glitchy matrix
Floating in a
Concentric bubble
Above a narcissistic pool
Reality undefined
An anomalous apparition
That can be seen through
As easily as the glass
Covering the shiny silver
Of absolutely no depth
Only a veneer of substance
Yet somewhere at the end
Glancing into the abyss
Of an infinite mirror
There is a spark
Of the divine
.
The intro and outro of
“If Eternity Should Fail”
– Iron Maiden
Puts a graceful period
At the end of this post
.
“Here is the soul of a man
Here in this place for the taking
Clothed in white, stand in the light
Here is the soul of a man
Time to speak with the shaman again
Conjure the jester again
//
What humanity I knew
I have long forgotten
For me eternity is nothing
But a short while”
From
“If Eternity Should Fail”
– Iron Maiden
