when an unfathomable loss is
felt
my silken demeanor
he is an endless stream of
mania coalesced into
two dimensional conversations and
a boring boring world
without losing anything

normal natural nurturing
tutelage of a
dying death, a stench of
old, a stench of vulnearability
a stench he cannot stand
he cannot stand

he wishes a hasty
                                               escape

escapade, ecstatic esotericism
the world has killed him
once more, succesfully
at places he thought he couldn't die
at places he thought
he always thought

when the blue comes
the blue waiting with its
obnoxious
dark, endless
mouth
glistening teeth that attract him
he rests
