Then, with a weak hand, he wrote:
‘I must stop dreaming, I am nearly seventeen,
To forge that grand old age bespoke
I mustn't rest in an evocation wisdom has yet seen
...
Condemned to the last subjective death,
Freed by the assessment of sorrow,
Frenzies of glass crystallise a breath
Preserving the final reign of tomorrow.
...
Deprived of her depravity
She relies on for sanity,
She rips me apart so silently,
Crushed by the wind of her armed neutrality,
...
The Earth I find
Is the centre of my mind;
Despite infinity
It shows itself to me;
...
Only If I had the braveries of Dawn,
Where all is possible and all is seen
But I jump out of bed and arch in drowsiness
Putting socks, trousers and idleness all on my suit
...
It turns out, and with all spiritual sincerity, I belong to the Eve of Starvation.
An infinity objectifying its own existence, I slaughter the opportunity of eternal nothingness, weaving flesh from a pendulum struck by a tear of lightning.
Everything tilts but never turns, seemingly capsizing without ever fully being sunk.
This rare moment we call the universe cherishing its own existence is pure negation.
...
I awoke to my own corpse
And flowers my lover brought.
The war was fought
And not fought enough.
...
green, orange and purple are all in agreement
that black and white are synonyms
destroying each other's silence
the conflict arises
...
Before the heavenly hours have stopped bleeding
And there is but one soul to be delivered
An altar will be fashioned from the hollowed
Skull of the saved, in a sleep that kills the dreaming.
...
The afterlife offers new appetite.
The skeleton's granted impunity.
Prophets cannot rely on words to write,
...
separation is the first dissolution
refunding any illusion of self
for the mirror only ever sees
through the eyes of someone else.
...
in debt to youth,
my fortune is exclusively
for descendants
that I have no relation to;
...
you are too delicate to hold
and I cannot live with myself
imagining the words you told
that struck me into someone else
...
the men who wish for more words
do not understand thought, or source:
their love is tasteless
and fuelled only by joy.
...
she wasn't permitted the chance
to a countdown in the womb;
darkness is an onslaught
fixed by the imagination,
...
where are the men
who refused to age?
let me see what words they ate
...
water in the stones
sanctions your reading
and you're so intelligent —
and much better off for it…
...
invent your enemies
before you have nothing
wage war on the solidarity
that you deem counterfeit
...

Virginal Boy
Then, with a weak hand, he wrote:
‘I must stop dreaming, I am nearly seventeen,
To forge that grand old age bespoke
I mustn't rest in an evocation wisdom has yet seen
Or in these recitals of trickery; on parole I tote,
Reclaiming a vision my brows set and clean,
To trim loft droppings that rise across Dawn's boat:
Is maturity merely the itches of what could've been?
Where by one must fashion a senseless coat?
Ah, I am naked and the lion struts his claws on sand so lean
On dryness breaking, pilgrimages waking: make weight of this half-skinned goat! '
The Father upturns his snout,
I have come to know the normality of kings;
The Mother crafts a decrepit pout,
I have come to enamour the stillness she brings;
The Brother is split by parting grout,
I have come to listen to the song my heart sings;
The Girl waves in her familiar stout,
I have come to hate the isolation of wings;
The boy remains untouched in a timeless bout,
I have came to immortalise these healed stings,
His hands are tired, but fated desire sees him out!
The hull of secondary thoughts conceit the sight,
Sunrise is left in a sprawling heat, a quivering mess
And shells of flesh dangle from the rouge clouds, an angel's delight;
Melpomene's indignation is configured in the sky's encompass
And I see myself in old age, perfectly bright
And full of abominable youth, so sly my age may be less;
Was the soil sewn breath? Ah, to bask like a virgin before the light!
As submissive as a druid, a blind man before lambs on warm grass
Thought not apart of it— I hired a play of performers in my mind and set them alight;
Throats and Lionskins ribbed the stage, the heart is ashes of carnal from a player's congress
And a manuscript is left untouched by a Playwright:
‘It's death in idleness, the fool's crusade of Dawn's height,
Enwrought in speculation. Resurrection has become a daily pass
And children are rendered thick with mane and fight,
Beseeching themselves for roars that would echo and confess
The liars present of stutter and blight;
Starving organs and lecherous loins grieve in chaste
And a dry-red-skin amphibian howls wildly through the night
Seeking the grove that would abort him from peripheral excess
And ethereal caress, that burns softly within his scalp chipped tight:
But, a naked boy flushed of any rage tugs at him through the looking glass.'
Now, with a strong hand, he writes.
