There’s an all girl band called **** Intent.” They’re real headbangers which I can't take much of but I LOVE that name - Ok, let’s write THAT poem.. **** intent, that’s what it was. It was shamefully late and the lights were on but all else would have been torture With marriage-like consents and sharp cloyless appetites we joined in love’s witchcraft bestowing our slow pleasures entangling quite forcefully was an antidote to the daily, the pared-down and neutral and once the torch was out the epilog was stronger than contentment . . Songs for this: Kiss by Demi Lovato The Way I Love You by Jorja Smith Little Sister by Ellie O'Neill

**** Intent
History does not repeat itself, though often do circumstances and/or situations. History does not unfold, though often lost are evidences and/or records. History is not manifested, though often are causes and/or reasons. History is not fabricated, though often changed are definitions and/or interpretations. History simply happens - Now, Here; Here, Now. This is Time's Nature. Even as it happens, Even to those party to it, Understanding & conveying it can be difficult. This is the Nature of Time.

Tolerate Not Obfuscation Nor Misdirection
First froze the 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩, When the 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘵 climbed too far. Then was it scalded, When the ¹horses came too close. Of course, Most people eschew mythology & learn only from reduced histories. Similar situations such as this, Like Climate Change, We have lived through before as a species. That much is plainly obvious. The kicker is, At least with what's left of those records, There is an implication it was also from us. From how ancestors of ours treated Earth's ecology. But also, How the universe treated us.

Phaethon; Son Of Helios?
Odin & Mímir; A one-eyed leader, A paralyzed ascetic. One traded vison for vison, One traded appendage for appendage. From two stylite existences, Compassion for compassion. Perspective for perspective, From working together. But is it all meant to be taken as mental? But is it all meant to be taken literal?

A Head's Involved For Sure!
The accusations, interrogations, The threats of ending us. Lamentation, of an aberration Of love that lived alone, so long. The blood that pumps, your cause, Does not dry, but ebb and flow. But interruptions, from obstructions, Can lead it to die instead of grow. Without communicating, How do we form our interpretations? Absent enumerating, What is love? But an unsolvable equation. And if all we are is wrong, The only answer is separating

Butter Pecan
I don't write poetry I write emotions and experiences interpreted as demented delusions heartbreak and heartwake mindsets and trivial stories from the past, present or a predicted future deciphered in to something meant to explore it's all the same without a brain to make the words written more than words a poet only does half of the work your emotions, your experiences, your delusional interpretations, your heartbreak, your mindsets your past and your personality create the poetry what you take from it is unique a little piece of someone else just for you

To the Reader
my perspectives seem to be skewed. uneven and drawn to misguided conclusions. I'm left tilted and jilted from my own interpretations. flawed is my nature with exceptional and judgmental accusations. I'm not saying that I'm a wreck, but I'm a ship that seems to have made a wrong turn and I've somehow found my way to the bottom of the sea.

I can't tell, If you'd love to see me And show me around, Or if you'd prefer to have me On the ground.
