Of drums

×4×

inward antonyms

awkward isolations

personal partition then

opening among a burgeon

of lip-purpose sanctities

ornate in the handling of

multilayered associations

accelerated fathoms amid

sorted images, positioned

rejoice the uplifting juncture

of involved capabilities

                                                                                    enhancive…

constructs when the irony imposes dispositional

full-fledged forgetting

disoriented mania

while (sound enhancive concept, explosion)

the wait of when

circulates encompassing physiognomy

smile of notation

conjuring truth of accusatory

vacancies

misconceived desolation (as an act of defiant liberation)

surplus edged               certainty aggregative numbers

in worded accumulation, behaved

physical language

creates

            known dimensions, systematic intentional

mastery of emotional gathering—

                                    the

                        surplus of rhythms involving

raising

                                                empty, celebratory glasses in mechanical luxuries, these

                                                ornaments of glisten

shape with shining optics

abort predetermined manifestos, categorized

                        donating emotional conte(x)(n)t

into spiraled dealings                 derogatory delays in ascertaining

surroundings

                                                                        then-as

gifting becomes surprise of a

noon’s spatial temperament

                                                                                                realization

rotates mind’s nuanced ratios of

abbreviated satisfaction

wobbles

in the foolery of

gradated

altruistic trusting
