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
