Condemnation
secedes, forcibly,
ideal
structures, growth and lucid rapture.
To capture
the impossible etiquette.

hands and eyes to action,
this
commonplace in need of support.
Intellectual
disparity, appetite for originality,
gives worth to papercuts and an extra hour
over coffee.
But desire does not grow from expectation.
A stern draft, grading for enlightenment.
Hatred burns at the root of tragedy-
its fuel, repetition;
its catalyst, displaced education,
and the climax is dissonant
from superstitious reality.
Bliss is a catastrophe, unworthy of
compulsion.
Especially alone, waiting ahead in
the night’s meaning
with a pillow for your aching head
and a cleaver for your beating
heart.
One does well to remember an adage:
The value of a text is brilliant.
Failure is a necessity.
Perfection rides on the backs of
dragon-men,
and their eyes is spelled “fire”
not of a literal tribe, but of
implication.
A fact not lost on the versed and
critical.
Which, argued, should be social.

sake of the modern
Not to leave life to the flies
but instead express, explore,
and for the love of all, think
lest we pray everyday
for the fortune of the world to
shake us alive.
