The Reluctant

THE RELUCTANT by Mark Miller © 09/19/2014 We are the living seeming stillness willful we endure Through vows of contempt to never surrender Vacate questions fly by trees terse unknown Retreat or follow the terminus term less Momentary pains unheard retort by shallow useless Redound prismatic dreams latter stray trust Natures vacant way redresses selves pose in us Pernicious waves enter ancestors unearthly graves Today's rays show muses midriffs ghastly craves Stealthy mending blindly tenuous mendacity Humorous make believe entertains cryptic insanity Friendless unbound plays acts shameful indelible Mindless conceit surveys noiseless hostile handily Downward deadlock hours wither over certain irritant Moonlit nights stare down reprisal in winnower's other Fury's insight fortify fearless worry nowhere Repress paths repugnant reptiles past broken paths we honor Reconcile wrath's subterfuge insults spites the confessor Splitting subverts imaged illusions rouges gallery succession Accosted conditions denied serfs exalt failures procession Recover the recreant disloyal sequestrate authority Lucifer's sepsis addressed banished brotherhood of man restarts again
