Poem

Shards of distress pierce me
when probing memories for
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;purpose in mournful
deeds; stingy cords dangle
from teetering curtain rods,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;begging me to pull.

Macaroni starch drips into the
sink in slow drips, marching
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;along with pattering
pings in the tin basin, making
my yellow eyeball quiver in
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;gelatinous custard.

Somewhere within pools the
glint of creation in devastation:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;equals of bombast
never sharing purpose. Blistery
palms press on my shoulder,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;propelling me on,

past acres of debris and
superstitious domiciles hiding
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;friends long spent in
selfish conquest, distorted in the
glow of giant, dancing screens of
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;worthless, dazzling light,

over valleys carved into once
lush marshland punctuated with
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sporadic honks and chirps
until overpowered by the mechanical
roar of turbines whirling in steel
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;safety cabinets locked,

into gothic structures etched with
archaic icons, taunting with brash
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;esoteric energies until my
mind surrenders logic, divergent
timelines and mortality to kneel,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;washed by absolution.
