Torrent

_______

Torrential
viscera, mindlessly
subjugating,
whirring to a heightened pitch
of personal melioristic
dolce.

Ubiquitously
dysfunctional in my attempts
to wake from this
bronchial affliction
of impostured allegory,
the mind is torn asunder.

Shards
meta-forming
to a grid-lock
of spikes, plummeting
from the clouds
even as the ground sprouts
thorns
in the space
lashed within the cage.

I look -
I see what the stars do not express to you.

            "Look harder!" I try to cry,

but the ichor that spews forth
only serves as a regurgitation of words.
