smoked silence
with a cup of coffee,
we got away from death
chewing colors,
but still we are gazing
at the word...
The poem, Odyssey, captures a sense of introspection and contemplation. It seems to explore the idea of finding solace and meaning in simple moments, like sharing poetry and coffee with someone, and how these moments offer a temporary escape from the inevitability of death. The phrase chewing colors suggests a vivid, sensory experience, perhaps referring to the richness of life itself.
The closing line, but still we are gazing at the word..., leaves room for interpretation. It could imply that despite these escapes and moments of connection, there's a fundamental human drive to seek meaning and understanding through words and language.
Overall, this poem conveys a sense of the ephemeral nature of life and the human pursuit of meaning and connection, even in the face of mortality. It invites readers to reflect on the significance of these moments and the power of words to capture and convey our experiences.
