In the field of promontory, waiting. Far below the elephants and rhinos challenged all who would interrupt their pious slumber. All at once the crackle of bolt and sky promised relief from the ardent summer. Rock, beneath my outstretched leg reminded me of each nerve and bug’s encroaching hunger. In sleepy daze, my gaze saw cloud cover sun and breeze kindled with something a broad bit cooler.

Felt, the hope of an imaginary day. Pockets untorn, half filled by blessings of God’s intervention. In mercy I wept, not out of fear, pain but joy at the approaching night where all things are tested. Modification and preparation made I fell to expectation of dawn’s grand entrance. What faith instilled by the word of Promise upon my beset mind in worry and egregious dreams of upset, hunger and unrefined passion.

What language tells of peace beyond the bullets flying? Where men have never found contentment but pleasure in the disturbance of faith, fealty and charm. Unleashed to follow the urges of wanton wisdom devoid of concern for health and harm. How are things of beauty kept the same when the sanity of those who would own their innocence indicts their lack of reason or shame? How is shattered rose deemed blessing?

What promise of men whose belly hungers? Offer them the sky when lint of mind and heart is all that we possess. What frightened daydream endorses the taking of that which is pure to satiate our quest for poison or contempt for all thing lovely that they are reduced to average? Viewed below the crisis of intemperance challenges all who would stand against it. Only the bold and fearful under the need for worlds’ innocence.

What value in virginity when old men cannot demonstrate character to preserve it precious? Why whisper still proud deception to lure the lame to capture? What does infinity think and offer as testimony to those things which were held sacrosanct? Are we absent anything that is worthy of maintenance? How may I gaze on the field below seeking to keep my eye filled with that which is worthy when found it is gobbled to gullet for the sake of something sweet?
