Kyle Rasmussen Poems

"Alright class, open to page 32 and let's begin chapter 7 lesson 2,
Cell reproduction is a process that begins when one cell decides that it must become two."
The words drone on and lull to sleep.
The message of lessons sink slowly into the deep.

The alchemical fire burns
Breath of fire and breath of light are its nature
Into the depths of Eros we find its plea
Do not cage the beast
...

Delight in the tremors of fate
Let them shake the world of certitudes
Chaos is your maker
Order is its shame
...

Why do I fight?
Why do I scratch
And claw
And scream
...

What comes to me today?
What must I seek out?
Another dub,
Another case,
...

If you knock, will there be an answer,
Or only silence that grows like a cancer,
A quiet so dark it absorbs all that is light,
And takes from you what once felt right,
...

What to do when questions become answers,
And the lives we fought become our standards,
When down becomes up, and up becomes down,
When we climb endlessly just to reach the ground,
...
