My Ineffable, The Demon in the Spirit of the Child


“I save my sadness
For my solitude
It’s sweeter that way
Like glassy lips’ rosy smear
On a glass of rosé wine
All the more subtle arising kiss
To ridge she came to me
Like prophecy
A corporate restructuring
Encased me an asexual high
That milked my ravenous
Pregnant soul like churning butter
Her thoughts stem
From a lightless world
Whitened atrophy
The shining road
Was a bed of feathers in the morn
No more a numbing logic…”*

Have thee heard?  The story of the miser whom died with the stroke of a feather?
The gust of beauty too much his poor heart to bear, as the immense leap from an infinite possibility to a constrained actuality downsized his ambitions to the extent of an embittered malevolence…

The world needs another demon.  We have seen the blasé image of advertising glorified in the timeless walls of antiquity and it has forced a reevaluation of our pretensions.  Now, in the wake of this corporate restructuring, we need a woman whom will sweep us off our feet into a soft darkness, in whose conception the moral stigmas of naked existence are merely a lullaby, and she lulls us to sleep in their inefficacy… as if a god had sent her to prevent our sleepless delirium from being a burden to our intellect, as if she were a sip of rosé wine, and a series of the null set.  Nothing reiterated time and time, mathematical mind bereft of material conjugation…

A theorist in whose precept the world turns… my God… have we forced a goddess again?  Or did thee notice the snake in the grass?  A goddess in the bed of leaves coloring truth?  Is the demon marooned in love?  Waiting on the winds might sail his vessel of belief to the minds of generations… a transcendental conditioning… the spirit globalized… no more a mere logician is a sober minded ontology… and to the last bellow of the organs, wall to wall, it’s all about the vision.
