Fisher of dreams, sow the field with your philosophy, posit longing amidst the clouds for when life suspends itself in the crook of your elbow and your line snares another nightmare, even those rapacious trembles that shake you unbidden from sleep, cannot this time deny, your ink-laden design

Granulated, the shape of a soul in flux, shaped and shaped again, weightless as surrender, triumphant in rebirth my friend, the color of your grief is no different than the color of my own, inflections treasure made manifest between the turbulent narrows of sorrow and rage for, when at last, the faithful exhaust their tolerance…

Catatonic, your hearts stilled beating, washed over, hope, ever-rending unsettles the fortune soul My love, the world expires around us, let be what will be and cross the Atlantic, my ankles broken upon perdition, will you carry me?

Translucent parts of the self-contained heart, once denied, cast their chorus into the silence, capricious as desire, cacophonous as the omnipresent spark of creation that deafens reason brother, your ambition worn thin, made brittle as my prismatic lens, cleave your prayers before the tattered chords of madmen, carve yourself a sliver on the wall, bury…
