      CONSEQUENTIAL EVIDENCE      

 
so naked      
     in my hunger        
for that        
     i know        
but do not        
     live        
for all my        
     seeds        
of passion        
     never sown          
reaped        
     nor fulfilled        
for all the        
     still born        
dreams  undone        
     ive brought into        
this world        
     for all my        
misspent        
     good intentions        
years of fallow        
     love  unshared        
for all the        
     words        
ive written        
     in these slippery        
language spills        
     only fleeting        
glimpses        
     ghostly whispered        
shadows        
     oblique impressions        
captured here        
     whether ever        
to be read        
     much less        
understood        
     perhaps only        
silent ripples          
     left to mirror        
to faintly echo        
     some essence        
of inner mystery          
     within this        
mystery        
     that i am        
expressed in        
     all this        
rambling          
     run off        
inkage        
     purged        
from open        
     pen in hand        
released from        
     somewhere        
else within          
     even more        
vague        
     than this        
little bit of        
     consequential        
evidence        
     i leave        
behind        
     to mark        
my aimless      
     trail            
here in      
     my continued        
restless journeys        
     only      
temporal        
     passing      
through    
     this nowhere    
place    
     of empty    
space    
     in timeless    
time    
     where    
it seems    
     perhaps    
as i now    
     suspect    
i may have    
     somehow    
gotten    
     my thoughts    
my words    
     or myself    
just a little    
     bit lost    
or too    
     tangled up    
once again    
     in yet    
another    
     unforeseen    
too tightly    
     twisted    
little    
     rabbit hole    
here in my    
     presently    
mindless    
     illusory    
little    
     mind    
where    
     only    
now    
     am i    
slowly    
     coming    
to sense    
     and see    
that perhaps    
     the simple    
act of    
     penning    
this little    
     poem    
was the    
     only way    
out of    
     the twisted    
little    
     rabbit    
hole it    
     soon  
enough  
     so  
unwittingly    
     became    
before    
     i had    
even    
     begun    
it    
     so what    
does that    
    even mean    
and where    
     does it   
leave me
     now    
perhaps
     nowhere
and nothing
     more than    
a tiny    
     little    
reflective    
     puddle    
left in    
     a shallow    
pot hole    
     in the    
road    
     quietly    
mirroring    
     a gray    
cloudy sky    
     left    
in the    
     peaceful    
after wake    
     of a    
sudden    
     brief    
passing    
     rain  
or in  
     other  
words  
     something  
one can  
     either  
choose  
     to pass  
right on
     by  
and ignore  
     or  
pause  
     for a  
moment  
     or two  
to reflectively  
     gaze upon  
in silent  
      wonder  
or thought  
     or to  
simply  
     let go  
and get  
     lost in
just  
     as i  
have  
     done
here
     now
