Mystic dawn
antique lives
to a reason
we are hither
condemned
to live in exile
as lepers
while the true sinners
command the city
and excommunicated
we wander along
absinthe avenues of thought
perplexed by
the eternal foliage
of delight
Hence we are
assassinated
by the pure soul
and all thought
is deemed
contaminated
we shall never
arrive at
the unknown
It’s unbearable
this predictability
but the flesh
calls alive
I am breathing
thus still alive
in me beating
the pure soul of a poet
the mind of a madman
I can see
my vision
though I don’t yet
comprehend it
