is it the [faint reverberation]
of pain in your voice that speaks to me?
[flowing][creeping] past my ears, into the fog
of latency
where you shine no light
but are willing
to explore in darkness
feel your way through the mist
with your broken flesh
stretched and torn:
scars that hide your scars
until you feel my gaze
and relight your eyes
as you press your scars
against mine

there are 3 categories of “poems”:
(i) heteroglossic synesthesia (complete poems)
(ii) hobonyms (words with no homes)
(iii) mind jerky (thoughts to chew on)
after reading a poem you have 3 options to “turn the page”
“RANDOM” – takes you to a random poetic expression
#hastags – take you to another random poem with the same theme or motif
#category – takes you to a random poem in the same category
“no one can step in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they are not the same person” – possibly Heraclitus
just as no one can step in the same river twice, no one can have the same experience of “as common as carbon” twice
