A Mecurial Soul

The signal passed last night,
	removing order from this day
	a structure in decay;
	as valid value dreaming
	sent planet planes careening.
	So to,
	this marble flooring wears and
	tears beneath our feats;
	nothing so complete but
	a depression era drama signaled
	forth this day,
	cotton bound and vexing
	held within it’s sway
	in fervent anguish stay,
	the signal there connecting
	this twisted brilliant day...

	A mercurial soul slips through
	God's fingers.
	Pray next time he has
	a better grip.
