pools of phosphorescence trickle tearily,
upon hallowed strings of cylindrical orbit
called grace, upending cosmic severence.
to be gathered together like mockingbirds
upon wings reminiscent of small catechisms
where as a youth i was taught the "truth"
silently assumed assassination of imagination
articulate narratives both living and dead
in the stead of a sinner's unworthy blood
which flows sanguine or azure dependant
solely upon the veil of perspective viewed
through an errant lens magnifying perjury
disguised under a thinning blanket of hope
crosswise spun methodically with thread.
were they compassionate, loving displays
writ in ink and ether, an orbit called grace?
