Unless / Victory / Crime

 Fate seems granular, it comes through in texture,

so shocking in the moments, granted grace via the patina of time

corrected perceptions of real, the seams...smoothing out via smothering the previous

("trouble, I have paid my debt, won't you leave me in my misery?")


A through-line is no longer available, unless you're a towing a car without proof.

A long line drags on time, before the plum of destiny drops to rot 

like soldiers in a field, where have we gone, to the beating of drums?

("She partakes of lifting the gate between the possible and invisible")


These fires, the orange skies of memory. The dust...

Will these deaths combust

what's left

of us?


No forwarding address for heroes who've gone.

Foundations and institutions...and graves.

The price of persistence, of the perception of victory

in focused pestilence. People And Poxes Create Boxes

(fire / braces) (kick) (trumpets)


You will not be king. 

This game is rigged.

We're overwhelmed by extremes in just this overarching un-eternal now.

Where the quiet reigns in shadows for the unabsolved act, like the eternal shame that goes nameless

into ever brighter colors for the memory-less future to shoulder...

We'll evaporate. (The forrest is haunted with burning trees)

Asleep in a blurred crusade

I am aware,

That the time

between us is limited. 

Water, sand and time all trickle.

we share clocks and calendars in the ether,


So, okay for indefinite fixtures that soon grow wild,

sleep, or waiting(waxing), no wings are grown or aligned, unspoken/unfurled, 

murdered and wise where fishes' tails drift into memory 


Don't be startled,

the cork is off the bottle,

the genie lives, 

escaped.
