POEM: the inverse of matter witness the artifacts of artificial memory man-made/ cavities, crevices, shatter across the concrete wall/ I search for signs of the abstract truth/ the shock of negative power to take away,/ leave a void (you know how it is) uncontrollably,/ we are attracted to the darkness black holes absorb light/ matter dissolves it happens so fast like snow falling on a surface,/ bullets wound, leave countless craters, constellation negatives/ spent casings spread beneath weave a heavy, unstable blanket/ comets made of lead leave in their wake/ nothing what happens when we scratch away/ memory take what was by the principle of decay/ we are left the inverse of matter
