two in a row

duality

i am both
gold and silver
fire and ice
in both i perish.
i have two hearts
my veins pulse double-time.
i live in two lands
two paths lead through my life
what i say, i say twice
just to make sure i really mean it.
i am my own twin sister
and eventhough i try
one of me is always lying
to the other.
i am not grey,
i'm black and white
always
i split and multiply:
eight limbs, four eyes, two minds,
two men
two names i cry
two places i reach out to
when i wake in the night
from a double dream
and am afraid, beacuse i know,
despite it all
i don't have twice the time
and once i will,
despite it all,
decide,
and with a carefully pointed thrust
i'll kill the other i.


singularity

nothing within my reach
is safe from me.
i am a child,
i break my favourite toys,
i take the best from what i love
and kill it.
i am the darkness of the void
a black hole, singular,
i'm destined to destroy,
distorting space and time
i am the point
where everything goes wrong
and is corrupted,
a twisted star, annoyed
with its existence
slowly forgetting what it's like to shine
i devour all i like.

the more i grow the more i gravitate
the more i grow the more things come my way
attracted by reflections of the universe
and time will come, no doubt, when all this ends
and i explode, outgrow myself as well.
