Made of concrete, made of gold
Naked blades soft and bit
tremble, affix atop sharp, crystal wall
canonical, liquid together in pressure, embraced
unfit dreams steaming smoke to a face,
like sensuality, dig a hole and jump in for object,
aching still, twist to activity violently hence,
harsh, transmogrified freak, evolving meaning.
It’s all a lie, it’s wrong that I’m alive.
Sarin breath, caution infects, coloring pale limbs
posturing, hand to heart, living hole-
vacant, no innocence left to animate
presumption, divisions of person slipshod, glued in body-
death lies and you don’t know what to make of it.
And therein is beauty at the alive in verdant heath of a mountain
where one may stretch to swallow, aspect bursting exquisite titian horizon
subsisting imagination, as though there’s something more,
transcendent of death, losing the self filling it in.
All that is exquisite, beautiful flits fake through restless hands,
all that is sensual, stirring sinks away at early disturbance of motion.
