Jump into the afterdeath

Lorenz

I like getting lost

in the heavy slumber

of a nasty city 

that pops into my mind .

It's so sepulchral 

a city at night ,

where only the dead live ...

 And also, hanging out 

in a midnight station of worlds

where the early morning suicides 

full of hot air ,laugh ...

   What are you telling me ?

'' I'm going to walk to the bridge

and if someone smiles at me 

along the way, I won't jump ! 

Please soothe my burn 

with your lips ,even they are silent ! ''

 Listen to me ,child of a cog

disconnected from the metaverse :

Love has only ever existed 

in the legend of a well educated 

serial liar who drives a taxi at dusk .

If you guess ,his name is Peter pan !

Tell him to stop at the foot of the bridge

overlooking the ocean ..

  _________________________

The girl in seasons of rags,

dressed in wandering blues,

lost on the train plateform 

of a nameless story .

 That even dogs don't look at ...

 Does the hostess have a smile 

before the big jump ?

      • sorenbarrett

        Dark and noir it plays like a black and white movie. A death ritual maybe. Nicely written

      • Lorenz

        A descent into the mental night between urban nightmare and poetic thanatos .

      • Ellen Marsell

        Noir aesthetics, postmodern play with imagery, and poetic intensity — in this poem, they intertwine into dark yet mesmerizing lines.

        • Lorenz

          Poetic wandering in a postmortem psychogeography .
