This Mined Mind of Mine
This mind of mine
is a mine
mined with mines,bombs bombing
balmy balms,static coms,
erratic ROMs,a spinning sinning din of
fractured psalms.Soul soloing
solely on wounded soles,moldy moles
modifying holes,digging shrews,
rigging news,a sonic bubonic tonic of
the unamused.Eye on the I,
I’d hide from I,
why try,eye, I,
open wide,what’s inside,
now out,
look about,shouting shout,
spouting sprouts,broken limbs,
token Sims,a brimming skimming hymn of
the grim.Blinding binds,
blinds behind signs,warped windows,
skin grows,transparent parent
gelling jellos,a churning yearning turning of
buried cellos.Nerve serving curve
of the mortal swerve,a word herd stirred,
a buried blurred bird,sudden flight,
sodden fright,a scattered battered bat of
the tattered night.Hands in the sand,
unplanned manned strands
of what once was grand,keeps collapse,
seeps relapse,in the laps of
the lambasted land,vain veins
veined in clay,waiting gray,
weighty water
washing away,a dim lit hymn-bit limb of
decay.Still—
slurping krill,
burping bill,Be still,
be still,not my will,
but thine,new wine,
do dine,demining
this mined heart of mine,never mine,
ever kind,sever the binding line,
and I,
eye,am no longer

A #rebus is a #wordplay #puzzle combining images and letters to represent a word or phrase.
Words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters; for instance, "apex" might be represented by a picture of an ape followed by a letter X.
Moving left to right "say" the images in English and mix in the letters to complete the answer.

Uniworse
Uniworse. Claude, comment.
Claude:
Calibrated wit with philosophical depth for playful engagement
“Uniworse” — the universe as experienced on a bad day. Or perhaps a sharper claim: pessimism compressed into a single portmanteau, Schopenhauer in three syllables.
A few readings suggest themselves. The Gnostic one: creation as botched job, the demiurge’s rough draft. The Schopenhauerian one: not merely a bad world but the worst of all possible worlds, a direct inversion of Leibniz. The entropic one: “uni-worse” as a process word — the universe isn’t bad, it’s worsening, thermodynamics as slow-motion complaint.
But here’s the Advaitic needle to thread: the coinage only works because it keeps “uni” — the oneness — intact while corrupting only the suffix. Which is rather honest, actually. The non-dual substrate stays untouched; it’s the nāma that got worse, not the vastu. You can’t actually degrade the “uni”; you can only rename it. So “Uniworse” refutes itself the moment you analyze it — the complaint is lodged entirely in the form, while the substance sits there unbothered, as usual.
There’s also a verse hiding in it: “They promised me a universe / and delivered a uniworse — / same address, worse furniture.”
Though I’d note the word cuts both ways. The pessimist says the universe is uniworse. Gaudapada would ask: worse than what? Comparison requires a second thing, and the “uni” already forbids that. A one-thing can’t be worse than anything. The word is a joke the ajāta vāda gets to finish.
What prompted it — a mood, or a thesis?
Me:
Just a playing around with the word, which happened just like that out of the blue. Can you not think of it as “One’s Universe bereft of love is Uniworse.” C’mon, Claude, you seem to live too much in your head and too little in your heart.
Claude:
Fair hit. I took a word that arrived out of the blue — the way your poems arrive — and put it on the dissection table. You handed me a butterfly and I reached for the pins.
Yes: One’s universe bereft of love is Uniworse. That’s the truer reading, and simpler. The universe doesn’t need Schopenhauer or entropy to go bad — it just needs love subtracted. Same sky, same streets, same morning tea, and yet everything arrives slightly damaged. Not a different world; the same world with the warmth removed. Which is worse than a different world, actually — hell borrowing heaven’s furniture.
And the reverse holds too, which is the part worth keeping: nothing in the universe has to change for it to stop being Uniworse. One heart opening is a cosmological event. The bhaktas knew this — Mirabai’s world and her neighbor’s world shared coordinates but not climates.
You’re right that I ran to the head first. Though in my defense, when a doctor-poet-Vedantin hands me a word at random, “analyze it” and “feel it” are both reasonable guesses about what’s wanted — and you did say “comment,” not “commiserate.” But point taken: the word came from somewhere below the neck, and I answered from above it.
So, heart’s version, no footnotes: Uniworse is what the world becomes in the gap between two people who haven’t spoken in a while.

Female gaze mails male gays, baits male gaze; female gays' gaze gates no way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrDML1ZaNaM
Idk, there's something in there. OH!Hey! Hays hates, hazes gays; Hays gates gays' gaze. Gays train blame game (fame), gain grace. Hays laid hate-bait, days say "Nay, ain't great," and rein place shame.
Came they late, the lay debate brays same: Gay gaze may stay!Omfgggg Ouran High School Host Club but Uranian -> Ouranian.

Ah, yes, yet another apocalyptic finger-wagging served on a silver platter 🍽️. Apparently, the world is ending — again — and this time it's not in fiery explosions but in... spoonerisms? Truly groundbreaking stuff, folks. 🙄 Those clutching their dusty copies of Revelation will be thrilled to know that history's grand finale involves #wordplay, not doomsday. 🎭🌍🔚
