conceit informs
conciliatory bath salts
coating gingerbread playhouse
all those things vital
ruminate upon plastic jawbones
collect your teeth, esoteric
subliminal cosign, be at ease
your blood spotting in sink
in sync to tinny parables
stars are prized, size up
one-hundred million year old light
vestigial, paranormal incompetence
we participate in essence on backs
of olden prophet, finding purity
rage coagulates prominence
constant reforms, Constance
tactile resonance, prescient
encumbered by insolence, feed me
fertility in detritus, all you see
everything free, for a price.
Ever-long eventide, high tides
enter the fray uncertain
yesterday after tomorrow
stay until sunset, I raised
in tune, tuning those
instruments of demise
intrinsic, this isolation
continue resistance to your nightfall
it is porous, poor fellow
the gnawing
anathema of spirit
our empire of servitude crumbles
shadowy, find severance payment
in claw, tooth, tusk, mark.
our hands stained unholy
a colour of rust and ardor
ephemeral dialect caress ears
distorting all those fears
battles have taken, a tolling
of bells, to kill revenant
Become
holes in logic.
we buried your keys
in a flowerbed, dead long ago.

I’m okay. I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’m supposed to be off line focusing on my novel but I felt nostalgic for WordPress. Might write a few things and post. I just need to keep writing. Definitely breaking from Twitter. That place is like quick sand. Lol!
I feel like u just now discovered and my Sunday morning reading you is well spent.
Hugs!
