Warp

Warp

Down a black hole is where I go

to bank the fire, to make it flare,

the light creates this extraordinary halo

round each & every friend qua foe.

Blinkered, second geared

down a black hole is where I go,

outside’s a world of TV snow.

Inside, the haunts of hibernating bears

where light creates this extraordinary halo.

I don’t look up or say hello

except to white rabbits, pair by pair

down a black hole is where we go,

the answer to everything a simple no.

Stepping a deep woods trail, a deer

bears the light of this extraordinary halo

pierced by a poisoned arrow,

sirens & furies fired it there.

Down a black hole is where I go,

the light creates this extraordinary halo.
