Imprints & Post-Scripture


Arrival, here to make peace again
merging and centering the vast cells, intense
indifference, or volatile repair

Compartmentalized, obscured visage
perplexing with vast lurking beauty of sea
layers lumbering in smuggled air

Refracted sky of approach
from atop in hypnosis the jagged horizon, time capsule
draining, displaying gray artifacts

Ulterior moments, gathering
pieces, divvying out staggered remedies to dose
the indifference with treacherous contracts

Pounding a fist to feel for the palm
the hours contained in a medicine dropper
mistaken, arrayed, half-life compliance

Conditions to which an edge, backed off
staring at a wall in comatose, a deep refrain
ingrains, imprints, reposes in trance

Arrival, all is here now
backfilled, forecasting and foreboding
forbearance of the nervous shell

Reshaping dense granite, cultivating
out of a spate of nervosity
and tended notion too quick to dispel

Receiving solemn lines
disseminating, dismembering time
partake in a body of rations

Dissolving illustrative dement
fortified in a text bound and spined
in falsity and overt extraction

Prostrate in parallel
sparked in duality, road maps maligned
malicious and buried, unregistered

Festered, hysterical and spurned
in dutiful margins grounded and carved
with acid and unruly pressure

Encased antiquity
imprinted tracts, en route its brutality
well-conceived and ill-figured

Slinking faux-worship, rewritten
in servitude, bowing and burrowing
parasitic fissure

MM 1/16
