Upon Silent Peaks - Prose Poem Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

UPON SILENT PEAKS
Alpha to Omega


From first letters to final phrase, alpha to omega, [l]inked upon the page, read words spread across white sheet.... No meager ephemeral echo or timeless trace stocked upon random memory, s[h]aved when cartridge spent, bolt shot with Time called, without recall of the how or the why, where data retention can catalyze invention not to mention pretention... two sides of one coin purloined by the ME in TIME IT being essential to dot the I and cross the T for [m]asked witness to Man’s transient mirage.

There is neither full stop nor one stop shop. The dots continue to race onwards, replace and reposition each other as morse code inroads through reception into perception and out through introspection or possibly deception – self or other... wise - punctuating then puncturing the whole until the hole becomes an end in itself opening onto infinite options...

Upon silent peaks eyes speak silence...

Upon Silent Peaks
Alpha to Omega


From first letters [l]inked upon the page,
to final phrase, followed by full stop,
read words spread across white sheet.

Ephemeral echo or timeless trace
stocked upon random memory,
s[h]aved when cartridge spent, bolt shot?

Time called, - no recall at all

eyes speak silence
