golden secrets in the flower

                                                                                

                                                                                         T.Wignesan

 

                    does it bloom in the subatomic quark  neuron

a flower   petals deranged

    burning with green rage

                                           dark firmament pullulating    infinitesimal quasars

                          unpeeling layers of nuclear fusions  fissions

  the blue-blackish greenish-blue haze

 

     is this the eye looking at the eye  

                                                            which I

          between the crushed ajña-eyebrows

                                       under eyes straining to envelope reality from afar

spotty bright grains pulsating in a velvety ink-blue-black throbbing screen

    thoughts racing forwards and backwards in time

 

childhood slights   deprivations   unrevenged hurts

      throbbing thriving on treacherous jabs by of-all beings    friends

those who profit from taken-for-granted confidences

         the women who dun-you-in    

thoughts of a nature to make you hate fate

 

then the pulsating roving churning dismembering coalescing screen

                                                                                                              dissolves

and in the pale fringey opening white furry stripes on the blue-black greenish bulgey bed of velvet

                                                      whose I       

    lights the frigid fire burning dynamo

                                                      whose eye                                                                                                                                                             

                      shrivels

                reopens              brightens

                        what is it    an eye

                                                         which stares

   shrinks sharper by the fractioned second

                                                   closes and opens again

              and again

till the pinpoint galactic blackholing centre

                                                                          bigbangs

                                                                         

    the myriad diamondlights buoyed on a myriad-petalled dryburning flowering sun

       shedding golden glory

                                    expelling all thought or is it mere doubt

the intense unrelenting feeling of

                                   is it joy      

                                                     or a fumbling stolen fear

                                               the mental orgasmic relief

              the sense of deep other knowing power come face to face

        refreshing retreading the worn-out neuron paths

 

then the return   

          after the wearinesses

                                                or is it nonplussedness   

  

 to this world

                         to words

                                         to wars

                                                       to waste 

                                                                        to wickedness

          a world without wonder

                                                     without womb

a world dying   

                         dead

                                     a tomb                                                                                      

                                                  see only what you should see

                                                       words see only what eyes make belief

                                                even when words don’t mean what they see
