ABOUT
Lay bare witness ahead of this thread
In hurt and foregathered minefields
Of tiniest men and forest resistance
in the grazed and play of shared beat
Impossible obstruction
these sayers of sooth
These monsters of truth
these men of means and artifice
Stippled, naked
and fought with might
But a simple compound fracture
to repair
In the darkest of dark nights
Grown amongst insubstantial muds
and suffocating bleach water
And still, she rose.
Above
Below
And beneath
the luminous sun
Grit fairness awaken this head
Outside the girth and weathered wheels
Of largess woman
and poorest existence
In the pain and joy of scarred wheat
Impassable construction, those layers of loot
Those beasts of cooth, those women of sacrifice
Clothed in your means and drawn tight
But for a single faction, to compare
To the locust of rights
Glows against the substantial rutts and muffled cool ice
And still, she has risen
Above
Below
And beneath
the perilous son
Fit awareness has shaken the bed
Inside the hearth of feathered heels
Of uncanny glen and the coarsest stance
And the gain and coy of furthest heat
Unstoppable liquidation became a hoot
These meats of vermouth
those fibers of rice
Bound by your seems
and pulled tight
Mounted by fractions, and styled hair
And the focus of might
Rows forth these financial mutts, with stifled lice
And Still
He has risen
Above
Below
And beneath
The voluminous Gun
Glib stares awkwards the web
Internal bounds of tethered steels
Even in then... the hoarsest chance
Will wain and stall the torrid street
Whelped introduction plucked the shoot
And again, says the sooth
that shire of mice
Found by the stream and mired might
Anointed by actions and frazzled scare
And the bogus of flight
Tows North with specialized sluts rifled twice
And Still
It has risen
Above
Below
And beneath
