poem || Lawrence Upton

abundant light

know exactly what

real history counted on

mix styles

trash of creeping

information please

walls collapse around assassins

cameras below sea

filming over evidence of their mouths

think up a snappier phrase

the muscles of their own inclinations

creation saying words are the benefits

pause at the roughly empty room

the benefits of becoming

a pause as dancing indifference sees ahead

a love of their own saying words he gave us

we help ourselves

it isn't our fault the world encounters a grief

to be pulped

eyes creation saying words are much

juxtaposed frosty fissures their mouths uploading

we help god in creation

writing styles

iconoclasts have myths

we destroy all

water's rising

and other evidence

abundant light! we are my eyes of their mouths
