i embellish my discursiveness
with jagged strands of syllables
pronounced in slurred projections
aimed upon the narrow margin
that lies between these oceans.
atlantic from ambition
to pacific world specifics
in a capsized vessel sinking,
resounding the defeat of similar situations.
looking back on fascination,
i caught all the news too late

writhed upon the page
in a photogenic pin-up
of a life now ceased in being.
pretending to be meek
& still trying to embrace
the epiphany of existing selflessly
unheeding in uniting our berated stars
who tracks have missed colliding
by a fraction of a millimeter.

we starved ourselves unknowingly
famished from the alchemy
that sent the palpitating motion
into the veins and capillaries
until the ventricles combusted
with the fervent flow of rapture
that we could never ever capture on our own.

it was profound to be tied up
in a twisted knot of substance
all too sweet to be so sour.

on such a stable infrastructure?
...a pause for twenty seconds,
and i still cannot cohere.
