Melting angel wings on the windshield
Catching hissing beetles with vinegar
Hear them murmor profanity in a jar
Firefly apathy withdrawing their
fading yet electric glow
Each season I observe less light year by
cascading decade
The swoon of the summer chaotic
Suspended by the curse of the hourglass
Skinning my eyes on simmering sunbeams
blessed by euphoria
Esoteric practices bring on the light
Buried are the pleasures I deny myself
Geometric shapes & religious ruin
Displayed symbols of old capture me
Books of alchemy smell of earthen dust
Wireless connectivity ever pulsing-
chugging like a passenger train
The electricity of your heart keeps me
awake & breathing
Zealots are now snared by the honeypot
The last breathing light of midnight
comes to me in dreams
Mirroring, lunar illumination grows
as it crosses my windowsill
My threshold holds my eternal halo
in place for the moratorium
O Divine Architect, looking down at me
with glassy eyes
Smite me with your cold, unimpressed hand
