Sweat (blood and tears)

Sweat receives not its due.

accolades to blood and tears,

abound, multiply daily,

but what of sweat>

the forefather, forbearer,

the predecessor of those

 

to you

invisible

that triggers the writers,

and

may be, them and their followers

 

when I sweat,

it is a first alarm,

a fire nearing, a poem resting, gestating

 

now rearing, its outputted

adjacent, wordless residuals

felt and tasted,

this admixture of salty red.

confirms the un~happenstance

 

these three,

sure fire towers signaling

an ally, an invader,

an arm~armoured perpetrator

from-the north. arriving,

to the diving

to the pit of

divining

to DANT’E’s seventh triangle of Weredom?

 

wherefore are thou bound,

to die on Vine?

to perish by justified homicidal ignorance?

what does it matter?

 

1000 reads but only 1 matters,

They who read and ooze the sweat,

see the bled, tear the weeps of

overcoming

distraughtness

 

read it

and who begins the completion

thus of theorem of free exercise

of uncontrollable love,

of the three,

and complete the missing piece

accompanying the finale script to its

reader!less crypt

by writing or loving the source

of their excretion-

assume its possession,

this demon of the beheaded heart,

they are the ONE,

the only One

that matters

to me

 

 

noon poem came early
