Sentimentality

a hardening mangosteen
with wounded white seeds
increasing into rotten arrogance
of monstrous'  velocity

sentimentality-
rises slowly to the skin
emitting cerebral poison
flavored with the sourest 
and most bitter condiments

as troubled being 
devours senseless hurt
sentimentality’s lava
flows drifting soul into sin
