Starting from the Euphrates
wayfinding a trail toward Babylonia
to divert her waters

mapping her ancient towers
her eyes
her desires
her pudendum

egressing out of the bitter river
surrounding her temple

until enlightenment
glisters betwixt the frangible pages of her
Dialogue of Pessimism:
~
"Who is so tall as to ascend to heaven?
Who is so broad as to encompass the entire world?"

~
Inspired by Jamadhi Verse's poem 'Minor Melancholy' and the music she provided a link to:

ablah Mar 2021
Stakes through my shoulders nails
Made of rust i will fly into my past life
To untangle the white knot i love
You so much my heart will ache
To break i will not be the same
but i will make you happy
Father for i have sinned in your name.

My devotion gives the black wings
A new shine i cannot box you anymore
You will hammer out
clotho’s mistake—My beautiful
mistake.
