writ in ink and ether

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?
