Incoherent Thread

this time together has been conceived by liquid starlight and bound by terrestrial moonlight an experience of bombardment by proxy elemental and eternal are the binds which we have finally succumbed to with earnest intentions without anticipation of outcomes our trajectory points in all directions while headed toward its ultimate destination: unified theories in which we are indeed unified the juxtaposition of moonglow upon the suntan of your flesh exhibits the vulnerability of naked power and aggression that is tempered with a tenderness that warms the spirit and then i see the light of ages in your eyes upon waking some just stare blankly unwilling to behold content for the status quo and delving deeply is simply not an option but for those with unclean hands and minds, who cross minefields daily, there is still time enough... expunge the demons with the soft stroke, hand within a hand and cheek to cheek we will slide our bodies into the chute have you ever wanted to be a cannonball of flesh and bone fired out to sea from a pirate ship? nourishment of the heart will get the most iron from a human sacrifice... we lose bits of ourselves and souls everyday so why not? let our desires be self-fulfilling let us not misrepresent our desire let us desire our own reality to stave off mortality while we move, dodge, dance, wriggle and writhe making moves which ebb, connect and dive i am both the promise and the dissolution of the paradigms that hold us to our words when action takes a passenger's seat to drives which inspire our ignominy opaque is our mind's eye yet we can still see the crystalline transitory fireflies that flit, fly and shed light in the smallest expanse of our secret places.
