With every gust of wind, secret taboo,
secreting a web a cocooned prison 
of liquid knowing, flowing,
emulsifying impossibly old and new.
In the beyond of the known, stair-stepped,

I observe your lifeless victims
From my tiny...

Watching a storm roll in - a thunder clap
Rain to give the garden life

of fascist marches measuring time
shoving tubes filled with dictates
down the gullet of my spirit
wishing to be at least severed

And notice the people straining on the stoves.
Arranging the days and the routes.
Bereaved, surrounded by total silence. 
The waves slammed against their feet.

I killed a man. Took his life, he lives no more.
Watching his lifeless body, prone, lying on the floor.
How should I feel? So many emotions fill my brain.
