Pellucid Jury

Pellucid Jury

A Poem by Onoma

...Here a man stands accused--the pellucid jury of
his peers come to themselves in their life's arms
through him.
He wails upright...a shadow continent wedging
The Flood.
Timekeeping horseflies besmirch his chest cavity
with due kisses...par for par movements consume
time till the singular advocacy of he withstood.
The imperturbable essence captured itself, as so
at the height of its powers there's interplay.
Ease culled from tribulation...countenance slackened
by degrees...overwhelmed by awareness.
Kingdom come Kingdom--shoring space of grace
that is freedom.
As if Everything centering of itself, fawning over itself...
polar opposites in conjugal bliss.
Here  a man stands accused...of being--fit for steely
juxtaposition...the murderous implement of will, or
salvation.
Envision him post-Flood, waist-deep, the living Face
of the Deep...look upon him!
Timekeeping horseflies besmirching his chest cavity
with due kisses...par for par movements consuming
time till the singular advocacy of thee...look upon
him!
An encounter of pitless ramification: fear or love...be 
it last man upon the earth.
Look upon him--O jury of his peers boasting billions...
pellucid unto one another...look...the Hour is radiant.
Won't thee come to thine life's arms through him?
For he is everyman.

Beautiful diction and poem but my only concern in that maybe some people won't understand all that you're saying because of your language.

I'm not saying you should change it but I just thought I'd raise that point.

It's still a beautiful piece and just a pleasure to read. Very nicely done!
