The Unredeemed

Public Domain image

Unredeemed
Hiding in the margins,
an amalgam of severed wire crossed up,
crossed out,
wrapped impacted in ill repute,
its ritual advance

Scurried about,
just corralling from one vice
through a snaking cover mounted
onto dripping hand collectives,
bleeding and thirsty, passing
the currency of cowards

Unredeemed
from on high and in vantage,
insipid advance of the interminable
depth of a dirge,
surfacing from atop a regal stone,
undressing of the wound

to maggots underneath
the violence and ruptured disturbance
Myriad starts, symmetrical spirals,
shockingly unearthed
from messaging and interference
Harbingers in currents

Unredeemed
Unwashed and untoward in the downward cast
of voice instilled and destemmed,
of burgeoning and bludgeoning
the blunted end of a rancorous stake
uncrossed and controverted

Moving points across,
gasping and blue in mounting swells,
pensive, appendage to rank and concept
Sprawled about and calling out,
the apotheosis of degeneration
Of common fodder

MM 1/17
