i reify a contradiction
writing poetry haeskella,
ante ex nihilo
to meliorate wistful hiero,
coeval haji frationary:

hearts idealism, blanched
aciculum polychaete, &
realism’s butterfly effect,
extant impurity ægis

isochronal tenuis
napalms solace negātīvus
jubal tremolo auto, in poem
espousing belles-lettres -

is this me in present?
past & future otiose
‘prospicient looking glass’
hypostatic eternally saturnalian

--

is the artist ever hellacious?
expulcating poem, prose, fiction -
soul manifests to ausculted ears’
extramural jaundice, non compos mentis:
they were just being who they were

rafinesque sentir chaste
every character supporato sui iuris
with cognizance that
all are spurious
isn’t that the strife of living? -

i’m afraid of chelidonium majus,
ersatz chef-d'oeuvre an
anorexic boutonniere -
sophic nadir, cycles anelace
abridged to qualia

torment required helicoid
thoughts ne plus ultra
words concave sepulchral,
spartan’s downfall austere

--

bon appétit mr poem
did you relish sapor’s intense?
vififying regale mind
or portrait of absinthe ash?

aroma blazes pustular you say!
how stupefying! nature's acrimony
to nescient souls
who roguish pursue heartless dissolute -

it will egress despois
life's stage, entries, exits, all vacuous
debauch spares pestilence zerum
linguis incognito, hue despotic
times' cytostasis bides eventua
for you
