In Our Blindness, Chalked Up To Just Be Fate

Life, its complexity truly astounds

come
come quickly 
come, spotless Bridegroom

 free verse with poetic device

What are words other than coffin nails be?
Who does it belong to when it rails me?
An empty vessel at best that bails thee.

my words might seer, but hark the raw fear.

The poets have been forcibly silenced.

This is meant to be a manual, a set of sober instruction
that you can use, once you get past this lengthy introduction,
as a “how to” for learning to feel what it feels like when you fly,
and to free your earthbound body so you can scamper...
