Not caring, truly blindednI leave this box with twisted facenand everything you ever wanted, white, against glassnDead as names from bellies tightenednSomething must be done about thisnThey have robbed us of a cheapened lifenPermit us only a sense of pity, brought on by brutalitynand unconcerned eyesnLives in squalor, sick, or in prisonnThe doors, old gain, all night, caught nothingnA member of that body, that one-minded memory alonenNo razor nor fermented liquids in fulgent powernShall gain dominion over deathnFast-moving, crazy, wanderingnNature’s mutation of ghastly fatenHeavy canvas holding cave-like drip-rotnOne hand whines in deep space-time, nHalfway down my death watch ticksnThis sermon of agony draws all my attention away from the yearsnNo great outcry of bodies in godless commotionnLook at their dauntless courage to this good newsnBlack night hearts leading them astraynand these heroic deeds done in leaping blazenAcross centuries of mental ascentnShould we resign such human frailties?nas in heaven's tongue, confessnand if this outline is a blueprint of fear, turn awaynSeeds spilt then altered by day-frowning signsnYellow slowly in smoldersnDo we not occupy such thrones?nThe proof of scars catching man in his own trap of salvationnIt is the positive core of checks and balancesnIt is not in fire's abrogated fatenIs it a stirring reaffirmation of hope's final warfare?nAre we not restrained in mourning starred indulgence?nStanding at the gate, slave as royal shiftnA smear of wasp-sized jewels glitter madlynAs the throat is cut from ear to earnEver widening circles engulf these molten daysnSo that love and mercy might walk in newnessnActive faith, a unity we know must never be brokennOn the other hand, you are a brother of foreign landna green-eyed monsternAll of you sheep, not lords but servantsnSeparated from the sphere of truth before sinnand we shall view the resurrection of the dead,nCome to know the end of human foldingsnA graceless life, already spentnAnd leaf of evening rainsnOne crack in this otherwise seamless egg
