the direst, driest dissolution

plot out distances between freckles

and count the amount of hairs;

in a beauteous analysis

a cold witnessing

of)a featured lifeless gaze

projected onto windows

refracted in time with the pounding

from lost soulless ghouls

in a dank puddled basement

as we stare through keyholes

 

the length of life waits to rescind

to wash up on the shoreline

anew, once refreshed

with Angina on

 

wading in cyclic waves

in deposits of reveries

stale orangeade sonatas

and dull area tirades

 

 

the purpose

economized

 

every axiom

americanized

 

and as your atoms become depersonalized

tension is materialized, in ornate ivory

shattered brass instruments rusted by

novels written to god

in a

fractured light

and range

 

cramped in a curtailed distance

a brickwall deadend universe

gnashing with frustration

****** yawns of futility

 

closed viaducts

and vacant lots

deafened eyes, grey

glimmering in retort

to their own expression

 

 

blind sight was squandered by the snapback, of all the

strings of the orchestra as they were simultaneously snipped

by sharp prying eyes, listening to the mixing of paint

to smell the music, its arms limp, vivid

wishing to pull you back (in hindsight)

with dreaded, deadened incantations

a dithyrambic liturgy to the drunken thoughtless night

of slurred litanies and unappeasable, irascible deities

lonely and immaculate, all-powerless and deft

in irksome quarrels and arguments

glossed over by the fine print of another

exalting the vainglorious self-inscribed paragons

and revelling every inadmissible mistake

 

gazing past to a solo star

dumbstruck and dead

from an evaluation

and dehydration

 

dying to know

forget it.
