ww-redux

do offer your weakest words

to the healing of flightless birds

encouraging the loss of a binding gag  

where frantic bursts of shrill reminders

sputter out among pressurized dumbfinders

'til the notes settle on 

the intangibility of the dolefully coveted cad

where the self-deluded "wild and free"

vacillate in hollowed strangerly reunion 

forced to witness volumes of insignificant fiction

blow away as ash in the starving of vivifying communion 

the opacity of bliss drenched recollections 

which once flowed steadily in blinding combustible notions 

coating a permeating crown with inner-sight thick as pitch

in a lotus eater's delusion

where witness to this culled chimera 

challenges the now pried eye

back to realities singed sheer and ghostly 

and the coronary passing

laid open pulsing and gushing 

for the commanding and nullifying whipcracked denier

now pushes and pulls and 

eases hand over mouth 

to ensure the palating

of the force-fed numbing and dumbing routine

a religion for the road widen trodders

where moments are seemingly choice

and hearts stop raging

in the turning away from

that which grasps and gasps

buckling forgotten 

amongst lashes of feckless flames
