Lord Overwhelm Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

LORD OVERWHELM

in you
have something to say,
is care,
that you have
something to gloat,
is significance,

In you started the process,
the way life should be,
the pivoting needles
of the compass,

the trails of the stars,
blendingthe night sky,
with a god,

Lord Overwhelm
everything is happening,
according to plans,
is shaping,
going everywhere
to the movies,
to the malls,

dreaming of
fortune's knighthoods,
ignoring the death threats,

In the songs of the chaos,
in the songs of the birth,
in the cleft of
living language,
yet intone

in the lonely falcon,
sweeping the horizon.
for foods,
for mating,

One seconds left,
one minute more,
it should be,
anything,
spoken,
