"A Brief Elucidation"

A Poem by Perdition

I have come to undulate realms

Pluck stars from their visceral walls

Eating great white seeds of pomegranate

The letter I sent you explains it all

And still your face

Overflows in buckets

Your black hole Victrola in the corner

Once a huge, slow

Moaning medicine machine

Now howls with pain

Birthing a stormy needle

A last cryonic colored Sinatra

You must have read I was awakened

Split, from center to end

This to realize

We all

Must swallow trees

Root to Branch

Bough to Bark and

Yes

I must climb you

Where you climb to die inside of me

The deserts have discerned

And who, alone I, burns not what

Desert’s want

I am as long as you’re memory

And more than all

Worth willing….

A good three-second stretch

Love the following lines...

'The letter I sent you explains it all
And still your face
Overflows in buckets'

'I am as long as you’re memory
And more than all
Worth willing….'

And finally, the following lines are quite jarring, emotionally and psychologically speaking... to me, that is...
for what it's worth...

'Yes
I must climb you
Where you climb to die inside of me'

It's a wonder we are still alive...that again is probably just me, from my perspective at this point in the journey of life.

What if you found out that something you based your complete faith in for so many years was suddenly revealed to be something almost the opposite??? Of what you accepted as truth?? What would you do????

'shell-shocked' is an understatement for me at the present time..

Catch up soon,
