BAUDELAIRE - 2021

 

                                                                       BAUDELAIRE

 

 

 

 

The Tympanies of Temporality are Timing You.

The Seconds Tick Away with the Heart a Flutter,

As to be on Time means Be-ing… Chronologically Aligned !

 The Deep Chords spell out this Indomitable Truth –

YOU ARE MORTAL MERELY MORTAL.

Every Second Breath You Heave a Lung

As the Shorter Hand Cradles your Heart in its Palm,

While the longer one keeps ticking along its cold lance

Counting the eternal revolutions in both Hands;

Murderous both catching whole fistfuls of sand !

YOU ARE MORTAL MERELY MORTAL.

With every grain the ticking whispers

Like a stealthy assassin in your ear.

                                                 YOU ARE MORTAL MERELY MORTAL
