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
