I have meditated you
day after day
night after night
year after year
hope after hope
despair after despair
after brief eras of forgetfulness
after indefinite times of remembrance
amidst the chaos of being
amidst the peace of escapism
through etched memories
through imagined anecdotes
in the middle of life
in the middle of nothing
in the middle of everything
I have meditated
Beyond redemption
Beyond faithfulness to self
Beyond the law of the world
Beyond the mutations of time
I have meditated
And the cosmos is witness
That the answer doesn’t change
Although change is inexorable
Although change is Fate
What else
I have meditated you, catastrophically
Beyond all synonyms
Beyond every Poetry…
