Contraindications.

Contraindications

 

 

Signals bounce and crash in waves

Missing marks on flowing curves

Flotsam thoughts froth to foam

Forming a turbulent mental current

Where murky depths diminish sight

 

The sun raises his brilliant flame

Focus reduced to a single frame

Squinting eyes make colors twist

Understanding to an unfathomed blur

Imagination finds its mirror

 

The bird of love is snared and caught

A snap of the beak breaks free to flight

Dusty and broken light and pure

Love itself invokes a curse

And in her pain sings songs of praise

 

To a forsaken god the soul is scarred

A tainted mind toxic and scared

The body rages and withers diseased

Blood flows through veins of poison

And curdles in her tubular prison

 

Haunted fragmented memories

Shift the ghost out of phase

Leaving a shadow phantom

Who dissipating makes a swerve—

A desperate attempt to salvage and save
