After/Passage – A Two Dimensional Poem

After/Passage – A Two Dimensional Poem

This is my second go a something I call a two dimensional poem.  The first poem After, is deconstructed into the second, Passage.  I played with the format and delivery a little.

You’ll have to let me know what you think.

After

What will carry my last breath

past the door of this life?

What intention will adapt the shade

and depth of its expiration.

This door, some passage implied.

 

Coming and going

is what we’ve always enjoyed.

Desire must see the other side,

must guide our adamantine trust

in permanence.

All we are left with is a choice.

Believe,

or not.

We have little to offer each other

in carrying it out.

 

Passage

We must guide our carrying out of desire.

In permanence, believe, or not.

Adapt.

The other side is what we’ve always left.

All we are is adamantine trust.

Coming and going, what intention will this door carry?

The shade and depth of this – my – life?

Some door, some passage implied.

What will we see, past the last breath, after its enjoyed expiration?

We offer, in each other, a choice.

It must always have little desire to it
