5 Poems On Chaos
Written by MFA@CIIS candidate Aaron Vigil, exploring the creative tension of constraint in creative process.
1
Chaos keeps me
from believing truth
is a blood in me.
Without blood
my self disappears.
2
Calm debris:
ripped, injured metal
burnt, uneven wood.
Still living and flowing.
No knowledge of the past.
3
To become a stranger
to become myself
snow melts for spring.
When the sun sits still
summer is eternal.
4
Apocalypse,
Catastrophe:
offspring of chaos.
They arrive together
and leave in pieces.
5
When chaos ends
I remember feeling
like a newborn.
My heart unclenches
my mind is new.
