a subterfuge of
practical irregularity

a hidden symmetry
within the folds
of the lilac in bloom

a mistrustfulness
wrapped neatly in
a bouquet of ichor

a surge of shame
filled partitioners
seeking shelter in
the sullen spring

a field of dandelions
yellow faces upturned
in sweet release

a broken down cart
overladen with the dead
fat black flies swarming

a disparate opposition
to irregular practicality

the haze of smoke
fills the room with
an ethereal doom
as trembling tocks tick
the pendulous dissent
as foretold in
demonic scriptures
a sanguinary solace
in moonwhispered odes
to silent reproach
