but we're not automata and we've come a long way

Ocean girdled nation had prospect for absolute containment
Overseas observers, in distant comfort, complacent 
Wuhan origin arrivals sparked a catastrophic failure
Leaving lock down 25th January, flying into Australia

Standard of life still same 
Only people who have change 
A changed time, a society broken 
Even to themselves a denied truth 
A world of mortalities do they exist
A time forgotten like an ancient world...

...inspired by 'Inside And Outside' by Allen Tate


As moonbeams settle softly on her face,
lay bare the gaunt and haggard visage there,
a woman whose whole life was spent in care

Thrown are we, irresolute innocence through regurgitated realities…
Distortions of parallel paradigms-
excrements of encrypted rhymes,
Sacrificial sapient slaves marooned by masochistic mortalities’
+++
Prolific pondering of minds within spatial exponential existence...
Social intorsions of inauspicious illusions-
captive calamitous confusions,
Warring machines mandating...

The sun to set
	The weekend to come 
Christmas 
	Birthdays 
		Summer vacations that
Race past the calendars edge...

WHEN IS TIME?

Ethereal benevolence surrounds the omens of my dreams
In lieu of hoped-for transcendence trickling through my seems

Your obtuse ambiguity invoked an angelic enlightening

anxiety lunges at me – clawing at the soul
already battle-weary, depleted…

trepidation ignites every...

Whispers cloud the judgment of weakened minds
wreaking havoc with the fragile balance of id and ego
humbling the sprout in its new greenery.
 
The winds are made of whispers, fear is their home
and each human husk...
