subsurface tension
subversive intentions
minute shift
an overlay in contrast
dark, sharp parlance
isolate and insolent
reprobate mind
bind the line into
agnostic affront
A lesion of grandeur
corpulent cartilage crumbles
vitriolic gaze
miasma of mouth
fetid obfuscation
of intent and ire
the contempt in feature
makes for poor liar
hand and tongue
oxygen and fire
what to watch for
decimate dissent, ergo
deified by ego
connect-the-dots
of spray pattern
unholy hollow
hallowed by thy shame
razor eats jagged path
into shivering skin
blood pools to flow
bringing clarity
the focal locus
crimson satin
of Manifest Destiny
take what is not
yours
trampled beauty
under foot
boot-heel jack-knife
to rinse and repeat
felonious and frank
you get what you pay for
monopoly on sorrow
submit to the sunshine
more ardor you will receive
tomorrow
sever chain on heart
and run from this place
they will eternally recall
your failures
but never your name or face
imprisoned by time and space
what’s the matter?, no matter
you’re just matter
vomited by dying star
learn well my lessons
petulant child
and be damned
in this love
reminded always
by the scars
