I.                                 
 
                                                                                                                        I
among antemeridian’s abbreviated
                                                 bridge of tonal
 
                        silence                         varied assimilation foreign proclamation,
breath and fortune
                                                reside within
                                                                        various species of        gradated grays:
 
creatures
                                    seldom whole upon silhouette’s antiquated identity
roam
                        into blame of notated burgeon
 
                                                                                    created illusion  ?
questioned hope or
                                                            negated fantasy.
 
Sound now is sacred.
 
Scent is mutated interpretations of distance’s aggregated deaths.
                                                Organoleptic
misery
            (unyet dissection of metaphysical architecture)
                                                                                                envelopes
                                                                                                rectitude of
                        morbid health this
thickened charcoal
                                                                        resembles among
ancient desires to collocate light-understanding.
 
 
 
 
II.
 
Cerulean flexures
            thickened ceiling of articulated absence
 
                                    goal of golden italics
ideologies promoted
                                                                                    range of vocalized discomfort—
                                                            this
prognostication of light, ancestral to the watcher’s dispositional hankering
retains the
enigmatic cultural delusion of
 
self
            wearing venerating garb
dictating aligned fantastical
                                                                                                            ranges of
formulated gris-gris
                                    specialized devotion toward
held discomfort;
                                                            soon
                                                                                    is the supposition
of energized wealth, and I
wander
                                                                                                extricating
movement’s various indifference                    as
this hour’s involvement hides and eludes much
articulating endeavors, mimesis of
 
extended hypotheses
 
 
 
III.
 
                        Cold circumvolves its thistle fingers
            constricts
 
                                                            condemns my
isolated watching. 
                                                Throat
                                                                                                            of my visual appearance
                                    widened target
as to compliment death’s worried condescension—
                                                                                    enemies portrayed within illusion
of mangle.  Unrest, then I
 
contemplate mathematical solution:
                                                                                                prior
watchers
                        hunt and
hallucinate
                                                rendering sacred conceptual freedoms                       anterior
owned.  Hands whose
cluttered palms rise from erasing symptoms
collate disregard (the callus rendition of existential boredom)
 
                                                                                    but I
                                                            alone and studying abstract conclusions
progress to the leaning attribute of
fundamental foreignness
dissevering what delves and hides
 
congenitally fearful. 
 
 
 
IV.
 
 
This distance is her camaraderie.  The her I left to invent reconstructed patterns.  I invite her image to
etch and unravel, —entice and understand,                                                   yet
within this womb of watched expansion                                            my
                                                                                    leaving unfastens corporeal
manifests
                        whose
finite motives coalesce resolved, denying backwards as conceptual hall towards
re-experiencing faded echoes.  Cold remains.
 
            Harsh
though my breath formulates synchronized twirls of focused dissipation.  Thus
                                    examining
becomes enjoyed constructs of neoteric evidence
hitherto leaped from tongues of prose and reflecting memories
pursuant assemblage roles or radiance asterisks
reprobating motive to realize prophecy. 
 
 
 
V.
 
Predestinarianism
                                                perhaps my
cross-legged habitual stillness
                                                resembles
arch of woven personas
 
 
 
                                                                                                            through deliberate
alphabetic molds of intentional perspective?              My western
direction
                        now
resembles embrace of spectral
                                                            confinement                a perchance lineation
                                                                                                assuming lightened achromatic
                                                                                                present                      whose ink
dismantles murder of colorized belief of demonstrating
                                       combinational
                                       involvement.  And yes
cold continues.
 
 
 
VI.
 
Delusion appears antiquated
 
 
                                                                        my
                                                                                                mid-lam nous
industrializes bark of here’s ornamental oak
                       
                                    shadow-held
silver of embroidery’s
                                                                                                reenacted temporal
                                                            curtailing flesh’s
gnarled vernacular
 
composing apologetic conferences of the esoteric freedom
                                                                                                            palpable
                                                                 sear
evokes revolving wanderings
disencumbering physiques
 
of the disbanded beautifications.
