Dewdrop

absence of a melody
          was wrenching
          on the face of a song

surface tension –
a venom creeps
surging in twin black eyes

you raise your price
in extremes
unburdening of embryonic waste

outsider
matches his death
          with antiquity

perhaps I've missed something, I just found this to be a list of provokative words, and it's not an ABC poem. sorry but I;m struggling with this one.
