My Separate Self

A short, concise effort in tribute to the disembodied tradition, inspired by Dylan Thomas.

My separate self, divergent dreamer

Scythe-crossed, severed aspect of my specter - 

Neither believer nor denier, black nor white

Resonating frequencies of light -

Intelligence libidinous on my flesh-stripped tongue.

My agnostic prophet, 

Cleft dialectic convergent 

Split at the vertex of wrist and spine,

Angelic symmetry delicately immortal-

The accuracy of a cadaverous twine.
