the words
shiverromantically
a jittery highhat
as my heart lays
the downbeat
a driving baseline
ofbasicbassline
inacceleratedpulse
chasing down
the lines tinkling
ivorybonesintoa
discombobulating
percolation in
manic whimsies

the beat slows
assimilatingintrospection
into a lingering longing
as random thoughts
splash into a
staccato double bass
pulling the melody
intoacacophonistic
interlude to the
anarchisticurgings
buried in the soul
of love’s last lament

finger painting with
emotional residues
leaving monochromatic
fingerprints across
broken hearts in a swath
around the teetering globe
i am the dischordiant
section screaming chaos
as the audience is lulled
into a false serenity
the uneven walls of
the slaughterhouse
designed to keep them
moving ever forward
into harmonic dissonance
slowly eroding heartthistle
into shards of soulwither

-drink more water, listen to ryo fukui, and be the spark of chaos you wish to see in the world
