Desecration in progress – a monument

to which this moment is built, upon

rationalized existence in forfeiture

crushes onward

through manic headwinds without hope

without vision beyond the cusp

Vantages overseen in use

Spread aghast in projection, unresolved

reconciliation repelled and rewired

into intravenous tubes

dripping paths of new dawns breaking

alighted unbinding

invasive existence

Placeholder

The alter to which embowed

in askance the tradition arising gathering

its stake in the new dawn’s day

draining incremental moments

different shades of the same landscape

weathering its worn paths
