The night repairs my longing
Restoring tears and keys
Driven from orbit
In the becomings of day.
–
My thoughts stumble
Through mesh and chiffon
A single no could shred
The nerves conducting my efforts.
–
If only I could think myself beyond
These sloppy, insidious walls
Beyond the slate of machined ideals
And personal inoculations
Beyond time and caricature.
