Certainty by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Certainty


The stretch is not a farce
Of personality
It's live and so immediate
It reeks of out of tune guitars

That trip took you to Mars
And this reality
A rocket flies to meet you
So considerate

But after clarity is numbness
And all the stress of peace
Breaks what was once in pieces

The heavens lie beneath us
The dark comes during sunlight
Cast by glowing shadows

And all is rough terrain
The smooth of these and those
The ugly of a rose
And victory in vain

Take half of this a third
And make a whole and fold
And upside down to gravity
Forget what you've been told
