A Hearty Repast
original poetry cyclepart IV & V (of VII)
IV.
Once the enchantment unwound,
Found walking a zigzag path.
What was behind me destroyed
By my passage, what is in front
Becomes built by my eyes.
Parallelism jukes the golden ratio
Of crowns & haughty decrees,
Spontaneous demolition of thought
Flamboyant with promise unrestrains
The fenceless joy & childlike glee.
Inherent, I become a lack of script,
A sky train of punch-paper holes,
A window or gateway to eternity.
Amalgamated, I was layers of void,
Densely crunched supernovae, webbing,
Soft, piercing, round, fluffball spike,
Melting into the stationary substance,
I was I am I shall be fetterless,
For fetters pour of my-less seed.
V.
Nothing resounds, footfall absorbs
Into my diaphanous intestine of sky.
I am circumstantial in this body
Of lilac timidity; a permanent drawbar
Adjusts the timbre of my atmosphere
With mechanical influidity.
If a fountaining variation of sinew,
Leafvein, ghost hair overflew in the
Infantile pride of a novice
Whose creation, silpshod, collapses
Amidst the plummeting shadow of
Smiles, with lookers-on transfixed,
Would one muster indignation
Or righteous disdain to report
The delinquent to the celestial warden?
The rugged innovation precarious with
Dendritic futurity, magnetizing unease
From the confiscators while the
Genius rots in debtor's prison.
In this place seafront memories
Rise steamlike through lichenous
Residue, Kinetic through rusted cuffs
Where a bit of kelp, water, and
Soggy rice wait patiently, the pittance
That keeps a renegade alive.
