A Crumbled Stanza

It is here.

It is now.

It is
Because

These tantric dialects
Come
Undone

I taste the solstice of gray.

Foggy, silver-lined showers
Replenishment against elasticity's incomplete verb

Through whistling meadows of Nature’s morn
Incredulous smiles become born
Again

The muse in my a-muse-ment
Becomes paraphrased, violet-tinted charm

This unadulterated verbiage
Preparing moistened breaths
Into crux of night

Surrendering chain-link grips of consonants & vowels
Releasing her Egyptian cotton tethers

Tonight

On elegant waterfall

Tonight

Her blossomed fingernails
Digging whispered trenches against my back

Will speak louder
Tonight

Than syllabic vice
