The Westphall Universe Hypothesis

Never could be sure
If I'm bleeding for real
Or if I'm just some speck floating in a snowglobe

Challenging each other with gauntlets of rubber
We sigh, directly into another day

My feet are iron, my skull is clay

Twirling in the suspension
Brownian movement not exactly random
When I reach my perihelion, I breathe your name
And feelings cascade like rubber tires on fire
In my constricted veins

Never could be sure
If these memories are real
Or if they're the mad dreams of a Man in an Iron Mask

The ink dries, the quill deteriorates
In my shivering grasp

I'm the poison of the Asp

Light atoms escaping the Sun's pull
To conspire parsecs away
And form the fake snow
That prays, still, invoking your name:
The shadow, and the flame.

What is the crazy?

    excellent

    this is clear writing about the concept .
    It cannot get any better.
    Its definitely a better poem than others I have read recently.
    thank you for sharing with us.
    Pls visit some of my works. I liked these two:

    amazing words

    the write was very deep, and moving, also left a bit open to personal interpretation wich i find a very hard thing to do when writing poetry, most just want to tell a story (myself included) since it is supposed to make you feel, rather then be told what is
    ...getting off subject here ...sorry
    well, i like it but i think the structure was a bit dodgy made it look a bit rough for the smoothness of the write, it flows nicely but then again with the form, makes you lose the image you so beautifully described, over all well done
    thanks for the read

    Nice balance with that last line, as they definitely come hand in hand.

    Not sure why people are criticizing this below as I dont' see an indication asking for it, but I may have missed that.

    Regardless, nice images, and I like that I kind of take dual meanings from this.

    Could be about love

    Could be about life

    and it's probably about both.

      Only one person criticised it, and that rather lamely.

    Dude...

    ...you're far too clever for me. "We sigh, directly into another day..." is the most beautiful line.
