choice of destiny laid bare like threads

choice of destiny laid bare like threads

tremelo
staccato
infinito
deconstructo
the nameless
being renamed
the brute
savaged again
perniciously
we grasp
the light
no thing
to hold

we are but
star dust
magnified
into egos
prancing
upon stages
built as edifices
to our own
sanctimony

we breathe deep
and kneel down
to kiss our ass

that which we
have created
succumbs unto
a bridge across
the fear of alone
reaching out
branching skyward
as if hell ran deep
and heaven was a
castle built on clouds

the nervous system
pulsating in rhythm
we remain parched
under suns of corpulence
whose destiny shall
remain hidden by our
corpses lying naked
from disbelief of that
which sings lullabies
echoing in the caverns
of our inner sanctorums

banquet
bank quit
shank it

humility rolls
over edges scrolled
by deft particles
quasars reproach
and joy bounces
aimlessly on cotton
sheets of percale
the womb ignites
its force and antilles
sweeps the mind clean

showers formed of tears
drowning dreams of completeness
mascara runs down to fetished feet

the crows mimic destiny
while i stay six feet above
rotating in breezes of despair
that swoon the pain into happiness
the broken jugs of whine
spill once again contents ajar

pi fright - intelleX
morgana stripped bare
jehovah mixed
negativity nixed
project undone

words
just
words
from
head
to mouth

((beggars))

can't tell which came first,
the reading or writing.
reading, it seems,
even as a beggar,
it seems.

i agree with the girl o' the west! this is rich and vivid yet stark at the same time sort of like cabernet sauvignon only without the bottle. i know - put a cork in it dino.
