Hypothetically: Pop, Melt, **** ****
Crack Cries Cruelty Lies Rome calls for the uncrowned head From hollowed halls of lords once fed Zip Fire Zealotry Ire Hope become a matter of force Masters of none, the odorous course

The Death Throes of Empire
We the People bombed you your breath fire-soaked, stained by greed and desperation, ordered by a snivelling coward: a man who has only ever been small. For this I am sorry, for I know: Responsibility is mine. For letting rotten fruit borne of lynching trees bite the purportedly sacred bindings, now digested. For deciding comfort is worthier than flame, than stone; a question left discarded, bitterly ignored: "Are We Monsters or Man?"

O Venezuela,
I think it's important to be, to think, to hope, truthfully. That one knows a source, the spur, the beauty; better that, better forever than a lie.

Truth
Being: Simplicity: The act of breath, knives against my throat. A full night's rest. It should be easy; everyone does it. Yet... "How?" The question persists. And I- -have not found a satisfying answer.

I'm No Good At This
Lonely leaf on winter's way, I see you tumbling absent gray. Brown your autumn vein and kiss, I see you stumbling with great bliss. Up and down your flight and fall, I see you crumbling as you brawl. Against the snow like cloud and sky, I see you fumbling a whispered cry. You're an enemy of all that springs, a microcosm of deathly things. Yet I hope this journey one of fun, a last hurrah beneath our sun. For though we're not alike or same, I know you far from being lame. So fly along the coldest path, while I for one seek my bath.

Six Be Our Trumpets
Soil. Grit. Reassurance. Drift. Like love. Like strength. Like beauty. Past, present. Future, pleasant. Persisting Despite, Congruity.

Black
Proud son, Broken son, Thing of flesh and failure; What task has been set before you? Impassable bedrock? Something greater? You are not Herakles, Far from rageful death; Not Ikaros, wings forever cleft; The Sun still warms, bright within your breast.
