unadulterated synergies 

the sizing up of absolutes--where--withered by asphalt and crime

destitute prodigies wear the orgies of beginnings and rise

like shackled maniacs preaching blood stone and bone

deliver sin on a platter with a bucket of gold and say you did wrong

by loving---her

and say you did wrong to leave family peace meals to walk alone--

but death is a cold companion in the garden wet with night and dew

while two selves battle 

one serving bread

the other banshee blows--a promise of light and loose will reclined in propulsion

expulsion from the garden once feared yet overgrown

with comfort -- forgiveness 

 

disenchanted youth! spring up from winter to know love

(it) traces circles around the body 

a warm trail to touch--tattooed on memoryskin 

chanting about made-up saviors and torn pages--

books drop from the bridge to float down stream

a vague understanding of 

currents

sky

and deltas
