Somewhere or Sometime
Somehow
                                  We Wrote
Decrees

I.

Down a staircase in a
Castle of iron, streaks of
Quartz the dendrite-swallowed
Fireflies.

Fairies were the blood
Pouring through a monstrous dam.
River of sanguinary tribes that
Flowed a yantric intrigue.

She was the lungs, the
Hot breath of the Sun.

Denuded, I was bathed in
Silence; my ignorance burnt
Through algal veins.

Still the search &
Endless drudgery for the
Silver keycode, skeletal
Promise that refused to
Loose its lips.

Still her face that
Wasn't a face, its eyes of
Pelican rage seared my kneecap.
Its skin of sardine gorged my
Silkworm eyelash.

II.

Middling trophy
Glassy orb
              clenched in
                        a claw
         My eye
         of ferns
                        your sand
Breast

Suckling
                     Weaning
           Runt of
           the litter
                    your favorite
Turbid
weakling

Peach pit
                      My restless
Antenna
                      coal of
           Anguish

Autumn covered me over
A sickly ray
                            Prickling
My dandelion seed

III.

Resolution of the
Sky-green mantis, the
Waning lunar translucence
Egging me on, restless driven
By sorrow trapped in the
Heat of summer's
Pinnacle of
Dragons.

Serpentine canal,
Trawling obsidian hookshot.
Propulsion claw cracking a
Vomiting boulder.

You were a stampede.
Bull noise & chittering crab,
Chimeric scream of sleet,
Acid misery of
Comfort &
Youth.

IV.

Still
              the fluctuation
Never was
                    my feverish
                        shivers
Winking out

Candle
                        no wind
Stirringless stars
            indigo
black
                         aura

Confines
soft                 scoffing
                         sound
       evergreen
   gum of smoke

Record, slow
                        revolution of
Death, parchment
           of mud
                     You & I
Wrote the
           statutes
