the economics of nouns

[sweetwater]

it's a wash
a complete invigoration of the dying present
the cleansing of the past
the sweep into the future

the end of the beginning
the beginning of the end

it's a coup
a coup d'etat
the rinsing of my now

the release of incarcerating agents
the symptoms of a ghostly fever
the emptiness and triumph
of the sacred nothing

it is a lasting moment
in the reprieve of night
walking forward into the bliss of end

it is the end
the great magnificent ending of one's paranoia
the end of dreams and misfortune

it is the end my sorrow and longing
for a present in detail

it is lastly
the isness and likeness
of words and phrases
disguises and masks

it is the light of tomorrow
and the night of waking dreams

it is the antithesis
of letting go

the impalement
and song

it is the absoluteness of breath
breathing in the chambers of one's gasp

it is pure and remorselessly enchanting
it's elegance and meter

it's a put on
an eminent front
for the beguiling of one's freedom

in a stately execution
of morals and other fantasies

it's more than all this
it's more than nouns

it's a verb to go on continuing
even though there is nothing left

Sobering and gentle with a most enchanting lilt....
