An Abstract Year

Makeshift mannerisms and blood composed of fire and dirt

streaming through my wrist and fingertips

learning to breathe once more

a feeling of passion in the midst of such monotony.

Modesty, your majesty, modesty;

Sometimes it's acceptable to do your best.

 

Concerned with cancer and algorithms

Love drawn from oak

Pressure the unfeeling, torture the joyous.

Do it as it must be done

Forget your phantoms.

Let them sleep, descend.
