Rage, sorrow, madness and joy. Unleashed upon an unsuspecting and ill prepared world. Forgiveness earned. Taming twists of specific manipulation. The legions of fury consume the night. As the insufferable hold themselves on high. There is no victory in securing that which you knew would be defeated. Only the demands of damaged wiring.

Silence! As the calm bellow’s boldly. Reverberating through the system’s planning. Disengaged from the course of peaceful resolution. Wanting and breathing chaos. Fired bellies screaming misguided acrimony of tortured feline. Spitting fiery fumes of pitch thrown free of volcanic upset. We imagined for a moment blue skies in Autumn.

We have become the lake of fire. Resemble the disquiet of lives gone wrong. Awry, twisted, frozen profiles of practiced performance. Dancing to too many and too frequent demands upon humanity. Throats cleared and voices damaged in persistent fearful expression. Men stepping too close to self adoration. We believed ourselves absolved of all compassion.

Imagining you see me as I am. Convinced that mechanisms of a machine for which you once saw schematic now reside within controls, nuance and dismissal. Certainly this damsel is tamed. Complexities and accepted certainties. Knowing that the gravity of resistance is found in time. Waiting for the moments when the picture emerges unfamiliar.

Staying lanes imparts some measure of control or authority. Into lands you’ve never ventured and journeys unforgotten for never having been seen. Palsy the desire for inclusion. Freedom never stored on shelf or kept comfortable in slavery of mind, tent or promise. Love, given without consent, fee or graft. Made to see but never receive.
