The bandage over David Bowie's eyes in the videos made shortly before his death symbolizes the fact that he does not know what comes next.
the question unasked
the answer, I admit, yes
I fear what comes next
who I am all comes apart
not that I was together

notes if you need 'em
I'm a devout agnostic. I've seen some shit that leads me to believe that the personality continues to exist following the death of the body, but I can't say it with 100% certainty. It's not the kind of experiment you can recreate in a lab.
I'm not religious. Religion is a human construct, and much of the time I feel that it is harmful. I believe that there are probably higher powers. I am not about to worship any of them that are so egotistical as to demand worship.
It would be easier if I could faithfully believe in a higher power that would take me to heaven when my soul passed from my body, but I simply cannot.
I suppose the statement that I fear death is incorrect. I don't actually fear death. What I fear is oblivion. That is the uncensored truth.
Another truth is the fact that I adore David Bowie. Not in a romantic sense. I respect him too much for that sort of nonsense. I love him as an artist and a wonderful human being who changed the world for the better. I think he was an angel, perhaps literally.

you know its the notes
I am entire buckets of trash when it comes to making shape poems. I can make three kinds of shape poems: Triangles, diamonds, and funnels. So, from now on, when someone says; "shape poem," I'm doing text art. I may also be entire buckets of trash when it comes to text art, but I don't think my text art rates quite as many trash buckets as my attempts at shape poems.
It's probably obvious that the
"space oddity" line is an homage to David Bowie.
I created this poem for OctPoWriMo 2020. It is going to be included in my third poetry volume, December Mood, which will be published on my 56th birthday this year. That's the day after Valentine's Day, which shall henceforth be known as The Day of the Resting Bitch Face That Never Rests. Get ready for it!

Neither complacent nor complaisant
His mind sharp as an ax as he creates the acts
Bringing the world of his imagination to life

Having recently witnessed how a demagogue can unleash the forces of fascism with a total disregard of black people, gay people and women, how that man shows us that whatever I think it is still a world run by men. Not just on the obvious, transparent way but layered deep down in society, men still run the show. Here is someone who understands as a female what the fragility of the male psyche really is.
