Glass Skull
My eyes gaze at nothing, my thoughts
flicker close, spin away, unchecked.
I think about shadows, how they soak
the ground at nightfall. They are there.
I shrug once, shake my head, mirror-shard
thoughts swirl around a glass skull of plasma.
Now the outside is clear. The middle is shades
of nothing and has swallowed me whole.

Especially liked this bit.
A whole lot of clever things swirlin' around
in there. Enjoyed the poem as a whole.
Well written.

Thanks, this one was as awkward in the writing of it as the poem topic.

Fuck me do I love reading some Atakti.. Hammered or not.. Is good my Euro flower tank girl friend! I want to hear a reading of it, the pauses, your use of structure and commas demands some recited action.. Stay true

Evan, ya cantankerous bastard, I was thinking the same thing! - I should be able to put a decent reading together in the next couple of days.
Thanks, man. :)

I spent times staring at the shadow. How the soak the ground seeming to have depth and life. Being consumed in the moment by swirling ''plasma around a glass skull'' by the grace of God it's been awhile though. I may of gotten the metaphore wrong, but thats what it meant to me. Thanks great poem.

Yeah, I love getting a hit from Atakti now and then. Am I hooked? Hell Yeah!
Concise and measured... so many of us have much to learn from your discipline. Great scribe.

Cleverly worded and I love how it sounds when I read it out loud. Very well done :)
