amulet

did you feel it
when I showed you

a key of sorts 

to the shackles of my
self-clinched misapprehension

befuddled by the machines
of our burgeoning

fully contented in the besmirching
of my better judgment

the basic allure
of freshly khurkried timber
and melodic prose
inveigling those on the otherside
into a servitude 
keeping the famished animal of Longing
as the means to a will
blinded to every foreboding précis
by the sheer possibility 
of potential camaraderie
I set free
these dark creatures
hobbled by the mechanisms

did you feel it

the release of the power 
i unwittingly bestowed
within the clutches of this 
perfunctory enrapture
having obliterated the recollections
of the collective
perpetual
reductive 
rote 

the murder
unzipped
out of the brain cage
to caw and inumbrate
the tracks of you

a gloriously deafening flight of shadows

as you trample your way
into a protracted fugue
