Circumspection!

Drizzle me a fine wine.

Cavalcade of neuropathic spindles,

surprise the evidence.

Cataphract,

dream excessive revulsion.

Candlewax, smooth encasement.

Emulsion.

Considerate carnivores,

eviscerated emissaries.

Unwindings: string, wire, tape.

Rebindings, liquid strings.

Abandoned…

You can switch the lights off now;

we lost the world while we lived in it.

All our Sunday mornings,

all those sundaes, yawning

as the sun went down.

Now there’s only shadows,

silence in the midst of violence;

bot replies in the hundreds, thousands.

You scream, we scream, I scream too.

We lost the world while we lived in it.

Solipsist, flip-spin.

Women’s wealth, sword-forging;

well-being, counter-spell.

Über,

find me.

Find me, find me.

Polygraph, trick-shot.

Mental health, fumbling;

feedback time, misty step.

iPhone,

lose me.

Lose me, lose me.

So what was it,

that thing that I was hoping for?

What did I think that I would find?

There’s nothing there

where silence speaks;

no solace for your shame.

But drag yourself

on out of bed,

and pour me out a cup.

Then I will try, and stress,

and smile;

And I will be

no name.

Don’t want to see you

suck down words,

repeat yourself

for the thousandth time.

Let’s throw ourselves

into the blades of a harvester;

metaphorically speaking.

You and I both

already jumped

into a galaxy once.

Buried

under rotting leaves

a thousand miles deep.

Maybe

she will find me here

breathing in this heap.

Because I whisper melody,

because I set down dreams,

because I set the world alight,

only in my mind.

Buried

under written words

giga terabytes.

Maybe

she will find me here

dying without light.

You knew that,

deeply.

Arterially;

displayed feelings,

wringing essences

that covered you with vascillations.

This will train it,

and to escape that

you will shiver in

lackening toxicities;

tones of glyptic honeydew

strike while I

militantly perturb my way

across your feltskin.

Excuse me,

may I call you Etheria?

We’ve been taking all day,

and

even though your images

are sometimes garbled

I kind of appreciate the company.
