Spotlight madness

Set

—Chime hours

—Fixed candle wick

Vermiculated

A hanging garden

—Replete with

—Invasive wants

Parasitic vines

—Exchange beauty

—For power

In the arbitrage

- Of descent/

From youthful

+Recklessness

To soiled pasts

-We Reminisce

—To die

—-On that

Napoleon Hill

Total deed

Unable to hammer

Beyond reason

With discarded

Antemortem zeal

Station terminal

Of cloistered charm

Leeching into

nearby field

Stranded

In the moral

Desert

Of your

Self flagellating

Senile pulse

For holographic

Grafted onyx dreams

//

Speak of grids

Estranged from its ejaculate/

Catholic blueprints

Will it buy you hope

Disdainful offspring

A foundation built on the premise

You will live on through

Your body of work when

Your mind is gone

-So where goes Judas

-Goes the body

-Burned out mage

Slow transmogrification

-A Vagrant worm

Spasm description of life

A chronic exhaustion

Close to gone delirium

Causal contempt

Morphine lubricant

Gold kilo urine

Grand ancestral tomb with skin

//Slaked holed cloying

But they’ll gnaw right through

Hunted by ossification
