Broken Tautology

Streaking hole across the sky
- Broken tautology -
Tripping tumble from my arms
Ripped in ribbons for all to see that
Every rule has changed 
One moment, then a life that once was led 
Has gone
One second - less - and nothing's ever been Before
Like this
Before
There never was another way
False equation
Singing logic birds within a sky
Of fallen days gone by
The sky is red like blood from
Tessellation birds across this endless emptiness of Sky
Untruth misremembered
Rhythm rhyme that was unheard
Unheeded
Improbability that doesn't matter 
Any longer
Days like fallen raindrops
Drops that drip an empty ways no more
- Don't bother, understanding's over-rated - - Now

Order, bathroom tiles
Wrapped around the trees
Beyond nonsense in neoretrospect of priceless 
Passingness of memories that never
Were
That never have been
Never will be
Never were being in an endless dream of
Life that you've been dreaming
I've been dreaming
Wake and die
Tessellation logic birds are calling, falling 
Dropping from the untrue blood red night sky
