Zywa

Zywa Plasma

The air vibrates in my ears
a mighty machine
overwhelms the land

without revealing itself
in other dimensions
Not an object, not flying

only unidentified
Invisible, intangible
Panic is futile

The sound settles
too heavy to caress
with a humming voice

Something hypnotic
rattles softly, to which
I refuse to yield

I want to tell it, not to be
absorbed by this hungry creature
not to be unknowingly devoured

A light breath rustles fleetingly
over me; I am awake
and won't be liquefied

Zywa Serpent's egg

The all-egg without size
burst and spouted

its roe, nematodes
nuclear energy
creates space

grows out light-years large

to nebula serpents, starry
sky and later earthly time

the small like the big
waving water

the serpents in the void
popping sounds

or whispering, sometimes
making long journeys

the fast light

rivers and adders
proteins, strands
colour bodies

flowing feelings
and thoughts

Zywa Timespace adventures

Om-heavy waves crush
the interiors of mountains of stars
to seas of powderpure sand seed

and liquid toxins, they vibrate
them together into form adventures
sometimes a placenta

It couldn't go otherwise
than it is going on
the creation, the koan

of drawing forms
from nothingness
and the time in between

If, yes than it would have turned
out differently, but we live in this way
on a raft on liquid fire

a thin crust around
blood substances and blood toxins
full of swarming tests -

multiples, the unstable
with a beginning and an end
an end and a beginning

Zywa Smithy

It grinds, sparks and flies
in a cave too large and too dark
to see, too deep to fathom
Signals
     shoot around
          in a paradoxical balance

Light-years are soughing past
a hammer bangs in the white noise
It crackles
     new systems
          of infinity

Stars bubble up, deep from the pan
they sparkle and search for a place in space
The universe is embossed
     Star strings spin away
          soughing through the non-existent

Alchemy of creation
Inside the flask it boils around
Melting pot
     Cauldron
          Magic brew

Curtains of matter fall
past, everything flies
far and small
     travelling to the nothingness
          that cannot come into being

Zywa Sorcerer's apprentices in the haze

It bangs it bubbles
it twinkles it grows it is
a hive of activity, each molecule
a sorcerers apprentice in the smithy
without smith, the creation
of multiple existence

crystal clear fermenting in the haze
it tumbles it steams it connects
water and fire, chains of reactions
stable series hook together, swish
push forward in lines ahead ahead
it bangs it bubbles it grows

the world in tinkling processes
tries out and invents itself
sweeps with squalls, shuffles in waves
dances and sings little bells in the water
ahead ahead the sorcerers fall
and fall over each other

Zywa Antiall

With arms and legs
I write courses
of thoughts blood warm
on the edge of the anti-all

five dimensional loops
ornamental curls around the poles
the cores of my mass
the things and the people

their daily action
of binding, colliding and releasing
encircling and intertwining
in all and antiall

It's all a dream
of mine, which is of nobody
a life that shortly exists for real
and then forever

Zywa Differences in time

Seeing the smooth water
in the canal and then without
looking any longer, I think

of the fuss
of jumping molecules
the superfast sparks

of our slow mind
with its outposts
the retina watchmen, they

need magnifying glasses
to see differences
in the breathless water

and they call them time
and mass, hence space
in one word existence

which slows down
the more you distance yourself
Thought to infinity

everything stands still
in sets of now
immaterial photos

of nano seconds
and I call them
eternity

Zywa Hyperhole

Gathered in The
The ETERNAL
ultimate Hyperhole:
the mortal remains
spaceless abreast
The ALL-IN-ONE

the souls as resurrected
bodies spiritually
close around it
a firmament
The radiant SOMETHING

of the inconceivable
The full NOTHING, stardust
without mass, chips
of every event
and we: timeless shades

in the hyper-hereafter
of our existence, our
illusions of the physical life
we undoubtedly lived
in the time that necessarily is

because it is not
in the darkness which shines
in the light and doesn't
know itself, but man and animal
every atom, is its witness

unable to comprehend It

Zywa Full space

What is resembles darkness
before it, burst apart
into a space full of stars

is as if what is
awakens then
by its own light

It's daytime, life twitters
lustily in leafy trees
always waving

they whisper in our ears what
is as if what is
wants to hear itself

When everything blindingly
contracts again
star by star

losing its light
stiffens, stiffens
consciousness
