Self-portrait In Blind Ink

We built myths from library smoke
Chapters scarred, shelves choked
Clockhands scratch in eroding script
Forever’s the riddle the mad let slip

We’re static between frequencies
Tongues gnawing lost grammars
Answers wear question-masks
Solve your own algebra

Your voice picks locks never forged
Opens doors where time’s disgorged
Mirrors vomit stranger creeds
Identity’s debt no ledger reads

We’re static between frequencies
Tongues gnawing lost grammars
Answers wear question-masks
Solve your own algebra

Calendars chew their spines
Days dissolve into thumbprint lines
Truths trade in counterfeit sighs—
Markets crash. Savants die

We’re static between frequencies
Tongues gnawing lost grammars
Answers wear question-masks
Solve your own algebra
