Semaphores by Simone White

Semaphores
written by Simone White

we spoke
in metaphor
and simile
two semaphores
indifferent
to dissonance
or harmony
obstructed by
a misty bleed
the mystery
a cloudy sky
put out to sea

but you don't
understand
the pointing hand
the shaking fist
the hanged man
the empress
the point of this
promises
no promises
unspoken vows
the crossed line
drawn in the sand
the sands of time
they're running out

the stupid things we fight about

so tell me
which way is faster
running towards or from
disaster

crossing parallel
infinity
with interfering
symmetry
opposition primary
defining abstract primacy
the undermining binary
double blinding enmity
we both always will never see

so tell me
which way is faster
running towards or from
disaster

we spoke
in metaphor
and simile
two semaphores
indifferent
to dissonance
or harmony
obstructed by
a misty bleed
the mystery
a cloudy sky
put out to sea
