Ever Sere Depression:  Blank Eyes, Lips, Ears

Ever Sere Depression:  Blank Eyes, Lips, Ears

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem 

The place is dark.  Its tenses, all, are stark.

Its tense today is black as ebony

As God imagined it before His spark

Commandment, yes, His first one, “Let there be

Light.”  Yesterday is even darker, black.

It always was, before the Big Bang loomed

A blackness absolute.  Not even flak

Existed.  Christ Himself and hope were doomed.

Eternity, infinity unbound

Filled everywhere (though that did not exist),

Filled every time with darkness and no sound

Since music, poetry as silence hissed.

  Tomorrow?  Never mind and never mind.

    Its non-existent ears and eyes are blind.
