of bicameral consciousness than not,
and thereby with less healthy resonant imagination
than more pathological dissonance.
But, I found...

of a bilious pelican

no stones, yet,
from irreverence
thrown at it
no higher...

trusting family member
than an entitled warrior,
while outside "property improvements"

an AllSouls Unitarian-Universalist built structure,
I feel more sacred...
