Barebellied sweaty rednosed stumbler
In the next room over
Through the partition I hear
slobbering hcupn groan bel chstumbling
ihave to pretend I love you everyday
hcupglad we’re clearihate
and he shambles away
back to his den
where he sleeps and forgets
----
Shackles, shackles
Arguing a point I don’t believe
Inspiration falling like dry leaves
Cracking, crunching
Underfoot of indifferent passerby
Unmitigatedhatefrommydryeyes
Love, love
With burning passion
The cold chain that fastens
----
Infernal
Inside this feeling, fiery
Spurns me towards that
Not yet grasped
The undiscovered
Beautiful—already, to an extent
At hand—but further, deeper
All feelings
I need to feel fiery eternal
