poignancy is the hinged moment between
revolution and healing
pitched forward on edged regret
stomach sinking into eminency
ferocity of heart and mind
laterally across the midlined field
growth’s stark light game
casting shadows from positioned repose in wait
descent like shadows quickening
death among endlessness
living heavy locked pulsations
behind the breastbone in slow-motioned accidents
horrifying before the break
seconds will have gone by
destructive stumbles crumbling
life-swept edges of once safe vistas
Love elephant and want to go steady?
