The Hurried mass of one

Partied by a daylight not worth receiving

The lighted archways of judgment

Beam down on your skeletal appearance

Urging a break away from some monumental collapse

 

A ragged dolls face

Stitched on the body of a human waste receptacle

Your bruises and burn scares

The missteps of your creation

 

Out of the depths of blackened fornication

Moonlight tones of a memory

An insemination that never happened

Carnal desires blunted at hello

 

Stitched at the seams

I know those are just beads in your eyes

Blankness recedes from the shore lines

Unveiling to yourself the residue of our indiscretions together

 

Briefly awarded the rank of general

Now collapsed into what we would not refer to as a person of distinction

Not a person of substance or quality

How would this concoction respond?

 

This ball of human anti-matter

This forgiven body of curses and regret shoveled

Slowly into some one else’s normal circumstance

Faced with complacency of this evil renunciation

 

To live another’s life

Pure banality

Pure monotony

Maybe I was bread for this
