Sculpturing

It does not work; 
the manipulation of the fast.
     The genomic fugitive
nurtures a home of light, windswept pyre.

      Under the prophet
a gloom unloosens the absolute.
      Now as you weave
a pattern of lies, the page hits.

      The book is thrown into
fire. The words swim, break the grief
       of naked sun. There
is flooding of wombs. Who will conceive a god ?

       Between you and me,
a river flows. I become voiceless.
      You cannot build a bridge.
The spinning curve outlines the shore.
