Distraught

A long pause 
after my signature peel
of the spasm.

It was a broken flight 
of an anguished 
end in itself.

Retrograding toward 
an apolitical fault 
for an apology. 

Illegal, soaring, preparing 
to take a dive
in the pit of fire.

For a gospel truth you
take cloak off the dagger.
You will sell your nudes.
