5-amiss

to buy a book at half-ten with no time wasting. go back, await instructions ‘cause whores will have their trinkets, with novelty of accented voice. and i once would talk often of a love – let’s separate that word from ‘whore’. often of a love, but am rare to fall to elaboration. and through contemplation the soul may ascend to knowledge of the Form of the Good, penultimate object of Knowledge but not Knowledge. and often writ of this love, writ of what was to be then and never now. never to find affirmation in fleeting memory. oxymoronic oblate of the mind – this soul. attempting for attainment of Kenosis. shambling i wandered, rambling i wandered, and humbly wandering on to pluck till times and times are done. and the dogs of this life have re- moved dearest effects. in turn, sho- wing the vanity in materialism. end turn, showing futility in ret- ention and the sun's continuous gro- wth forcing abatement of winters’ vespers. cradling a gourd filled with oil from the skin of ages, to reflect micorocosms of preceived death. those silver apples of the moon. and when vespers return in color, when the ground aches tensing muscles. this love, if only the conjunctions had been denied. perhaps by abor- tion of if, then could have been a block for now. these times found oblate of memory by zealous self- truth of the wronged past, and humbled by skewed memory of the hermit on unseen path for Kenosis. unseen growth of those golden apples of the sun.
