Through prism of blank words my mind perceives 
momentary gleam of weird conscious state 
that contemplates conceptual building frames 
containing timeless reference of the sign 
within totality monster of faith 
ephemeral as mist on the houseless plain. 

Recession of objects my mind perceives 
into wordless absence of conceptual thoughts 
evacuates doorless house of that sign 
which guides my journey towards its nonchalance 
with constant swirl of disappearing wheels 
each time we drive our wagon on the road. 

Unstable signified my mind perceives 
to disengage the scriptor I perform 
decides to represent coherent plot 
blind storyteller in frail chair relates 
about swift chase of lovers in dark woods 
who hide from horror in the doorless house. 

Trapped by taut sentences my mind perceives 
without strict boundaries of moral laws, 
we paint watercolor pictures of things 
in places lit with glow of memory 
resembling church steeples above lush trees 
with mysterious romance we want to share. 

Penetrated by it my mind perceives 
outside definable realm, as we know, 
we find narrative continuity 
in fractured fragments of riddles we solve 
without access to dictionary code 
devised by the jester to win our hearts. 

Involved in whole fabric my mind perceives, 
which constitutes matrix of unknown tales, 
I choose to do what might have changed my fate 
since I will never know with certainty 
what might have happened otherwise, despite 
spring water gleaming as gems in the pool. 

Circled by dream fragments my mind perceives 
as crumbs from bread dropped by the forest girl, 
I index pieces of my puzzling life 
which grim intent to narratize as myth 
random events of undramatic scenes 
where I stumble over forgotten lines. 

Shadowed by glow of it my mind perceives, 
faceless behind sun-glinted window glass, 
I try to review embarrassing scenes 
where I expose weakness of my mortal soul 
in stories I compose to evade death 
who waits patiently for me by the sea.
