The Mountainous Roar

If consciousness were to exist

 beyond the self

 

What opinions

 might it change

 

Can something exist outside

 its space

 

Can something be something

 it’s not

 

Is time the new slave

 to the master it birthed

 

Can the end

 be started again

 

Can the future or past

 exist on their own

 

Can the present

 be something that’s both

 

Can you believe what the facts

 will disprove or disclaim

 

With reflection beyond logic

 and guilt

 

Can you teach what you’ve learned

 in spite of yourself

 

Can your silence

   —tame the mountainous roar

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
