This tumble down day of tears and clay.
I do not stand in awe, at the world’s throng
As I gaze across black hills rolling grey
Turbulent clouds on the darkening land
Reaching the peninsula of my eye
Its sudden scene, its solitary strand,
My thoughts of time, existence, shadow

Power. A Poem By Robin Ouzman Hislop

by

 
 
People, pictures, patterns stacked
in this traffic jam of time –
 
The tyranny history –
marionettes in painted fields
 
Time is mind, a landscape
money buys, sells as properties
properties mind can never know.
 
An oracle of echoes

 
Here, now in time’s traffic jam
where all landscapes blend
fold into the silences of spaces
unleashed in fatality.

End Game. A Poem by Robin Ouzman Hislop

by
Robin

 

i.)
 
Is the plot,
at my window with a broken wing.
 
ii.)
 
Time unreal,
to the last syllable of recorded time.
 
iii.)
 
That is the question,
to quantum or not to quantum, mind.
 
iv.)
 
Race against extinction,
a computer brain outside time without extension.
 
v.)
 
Before the apocalypse,
a history of births and deaths and trinkets of fame.
 
vi.)
 
To mimic or simulate,
A multiverse machine, the name of the game, bring it on.
 
vii.)
 
Time real, Newton and Einstein
out of sync, motion observed from a position of rest.
 
viii.)
 
Onto an indeterminate future,
Consciousness, particle physics, the genome and time real.
 
ix.)
 
End game is the name of the game,
space quartered in the loop of quantum gravity.
 
x.)
 
Time real,
at my window with a broken wing.
