embers drew to a shaded face, fragmented lips wept;
storms, feral and unabated, loitering in the combe of fires.
the ethereal visions of honey amber lights, faint and narrow;
ebony of my pupils dead, alike of shriveled meadow.

violence thrusted into yellow mouths of daffodils,
like tapestries like yarns of blue saccharine sorrows.
brimming with viscid liquids of blackeries and vains,
like silver mackerels, sleeping out of the abyss, on a train;
like subtle, maladroit shorthands and dewy black inks,
who lilts the fawnish plateaus and quaint alleys.

the depths of my shallow sleeps, glowing under
the burnt foliage, mellifluous sonatas gently play;
strawberries occur under bare walls of throat,
vanish on the morrow, like a dalliance—
so frantic and hollow.

These days I read too fast for my brain,
while I marry these things that don't fit,
and open things too fast,

and all of the sudden-

those phrases and shorthands that I...
made a romance with
are just like the ones that I ******* HATE
that make me want to
SCREAM MY ******* LUNGS OUT UNTIL THEY RUN DRY.

And I'm afraid that I'm just like the rest
working in cycles
It's just taken me this long to make

one

little

rotation.
every word
