I Am Santo

Fiction, poetry, music and mindscape pictures by creative artist Jason Santo

Get my science
My inglorious monolith
Gleaming like a wet spire
Left to inspire
The quiver, shake, shudder
Of breathless ecstasy
And a soul back-broken,
Half-intent and bent
Wondering why this wasn’t home
And the cordial moan
Was a sip when a draft beckoned
Begged and swore
The cuss of yearning
An unblessed prayer
Where God turns the shallow eye
Quaffs from sweeter nectars
And sentences the lonely
For the lost,
Spirits sent whirring
In the bloodstream of tomorrow,
Always yesterday’s mistake.

Vestige yearning,
piecemeal fulfillment,
Seeking a heart that interlocks
The way snowflakes blanket
And stars collide
Far from here, but happening
Like these dreams of complete
Blanketing
Overlapping
Depths of understanding
Like the churning
Of an ocean
Tumult sweeping day aside
Ushering in stifling night
Like stones cast
Fleeing light
Drawn by the gravity of imperfect bliss
That dark heart of reality
The antithesis of together
In light
In Union
Whole.

After eons, @jesmegs and I have finally managed to get a collaboration happening and it’s been a ton of fun. A fantastic writer and lovely inside and out, this is a huge honor. Her image. My edit and words. She posted a companion piece. Look for more coming soon.
