Text

the clearing stood as a dogma for a hesitation pinched between the dullness of marmalade stick and convenience ploy. whilst in this conjunction the streets are still weary from tanks trudging about, sloppy calm sits above this blankhead mumbling to a song.


stickler flicks in continuum to arhythmic slurs punctuating dots off sentences plummeting into the evening set.


these are seconds where each year that passed stood as a province flickering in the distance calling for everyone. but a hum by the coast swings consciousness to a different height, whispering in confidence the stories nomads tell children to keep them off the borderlands.


this is the space where millions will pray for a better day. this is also the same space, millions will kill for a better day.


quit patronizing scum.


pocket your beliefs in a wormhole, and set the sails for the meandering opus proposing life as a manufactory hoax.


stickler flicks in continuum to arhythmic slurs punctuating dots off sentences plummeting into the evening set.


this is the space where millions can breathe for a better day. this is also that same space, millions will disappear for better days.

fumes breathe each in every humdingers’ balcony

of hollow thoughts, summarizing arbitrary compulsions

swimming in the bosom of clumsy dogmas. i stand as

freakmongers bask in an ideology swamped by unlit

passageways paving makeshift routes for the blind. break

these ears that picked up the vibrations of tears and fears

flickering through the blackout. where is the stance

to be modeled after in the wake of an apparent tease by

the devil who framed everyone in an instance? i’d have

given him a nobel prize for chaos. fire continuous in the din

of mutant hate, and even then, fire does not speak for it. this

stems from a confluence of ignorance and shitbled headfucks

that refuses to see the storm that crashes

in when the lighthouse goes off for the evening. not in His name,

not in any name. not in our name. not in ours. and then,

a civil war? why not, if the devil aims to win,

next year.

severed, how uncivilized, this

we, not that shall it not, speak through

all valves you continue to maroon

in timely just becauses. intimidating

storm, bluff called, as every in such ever

heads bob clanking to rhythms set

to the motion of films blanketing

thoughts to sleep. these clues left none

such spaces to conundrum itself into

molotovs to spark arguments for myself

to identify. every corner, is a canvas

i interpreted as sounds left uncarved

for the passing year.
