Swivel
and Sparkle
and Splinter
passion will bear
Aghast
over serrated
STARSCAPES
blistering past
the past

AGONY
Scalds and
Stumbles
Destiny
flings
AJAR
seething
delirious
rumble
of a dismembered
S T A R -

Flushed in a Ream of Fire -
Redolent and
Untrue -
scorching the sky
ENTIRE
over remains of
YOU -

over charades of splendor -
over cascades of pain -
over a long-lost
Laughter
desolate and insane -

over volition
SHATTERED
into a silent scream -
over intention
SCATTERED
into a field
of seem -

over a lifeforce
blended
with a malignant lie
over a soul
upended
in an obverse reply -

Over my clutching wristbones -
over your lips of dew -
over two Haunted Heartforms
Blended and
Torn Anew - -

Vanishing passion
Clambered
Shriveled like drops
of doom
and Essence remained
Dismembered
In the Blistering light
of the moon.
