An Invocation

Coiled fingers grasping around through

a series of grates alternating through spatial relation

Each subsequent orientation,

Rotated at arbitrary command,

Ham-fisted reverie, like the acceptance of Jesus as our personal savior

Colors their every artifice

As if the void that consented to multitudes

Were mutilated upon reentry

Like the volkswagon beetle

Made to upgrade on demands

Or the chemical makeup of fleas

That have buried themselves in the festering skin

On the half opened light bulb of

Apostasy. Hardships

won and their articles

signed, comprehension reversed

With demands to the populace

Each stating unthinkable wishes

Since they've steadily become

Eager in the belief that

Their souls were unstuck

As puppets left to decay on the rain drenched fair grounds

 

The things I'm avoiding when I stray from the river

 

Confiscated boss on your vaunted sky

Bring to us your design

Sing to us the reminders we know that will

Teach us to drive our demands to time

And influence the outcomes ourselves

Give us the power to carry them forward

And sharpen the strength of our mind

It's us that you're looking for now

[the manuscript was unreadable from this point on]
