To survive to vibrate beyond the now,

now corrupt deceiving, to outdeceive deceit

with direction and in indirection, phoenix

    erect from defeat;

beyond survivor's guilt, moments of joy

sad because they're defiled by your darkness,

your traps of the finite and the killing mindlessness,

not drinking my sacred ejaculation

    spurting in mid-air, for the ages ....



It's about more than wiping up the mess afterward,

losing focus due to pain, and then regaining 

composure in a nation of loss;

so intimately tied to the have-nots yet

     avoiding their death-touch,

forced inward by your poison

into Blake's vacated seat of Eternity,

now vibrating out through my atrophied arms,

     still beauty in awkwardness,

humming into your poisoned atmosphere,

famous to God alone, or an ideal someone ....



Irrepressible ultimately, reaching out always,

grasping thin air, but free enough to reach,

to survive, to vibrate beyond the now,

     now corrupt deceiving, to outdeceive deceit.
