Urge to create, to merge and purge Madness, Fever rendered, heartbeat Shorn, breath a’tremor, lunging
Emptiness meets mid-progress
Disturb chaos, chaotically kneaded Create a lighthouse, spread thin in rows
Wondering words diffuse in an endless field Leaf trails seeped in sorrow, blind, stunned stares Loneliness alley pulped, swallowed
Famished thirst, sprinkle this cracking dryness With wet, pulsing words Let order transmute distant murmurs
For you to crave and rave in chaotic dreams The next salvo in invisible love’s mortar
