+S A L I N E-
grams of silence
weighted in the slender arch
the palm prior paths
Octavius's oath hastened
on light glistened gurney
the slim lines translucent
like serpents rising
administer
admittance
pinch me
I'm alive
fighting
buried in the gauze
realms
and fog mines
the tile mazes
while the minatour
waits draped in flesh
in his seat
adorned with
the sheen of season
crisp in its turn
twinkling like a beacon
dry coughs
and television echos
subdued off the ceiling
Diacetylmorphine
like midway butterpopcorn
the darkness takes wings
in the bulbs seething
in heavy winds
tempest of pain
sleeps
tremors slow
while outside
the city twinkles
in the distance

A classical reference yet!
Be careful not to turn into WH Auden who you needed ta PhD in the classics to understand, so I googled it and it was fine and appropriate. Glad to see you trying something new, without losing your true voice.

don't hate me
It's true I have a nasty vicious side, that is always a response to injustice.

did we want to know auden...or the others?
delve beyond the out of focus....this slash and burn
where am i going
what was i of?
when will i exact?
tired...sleeping now
maybe dreams will
walk me through
all ...its just angles..corners
the maze...
i dont hate
but the animal of darkness
the greater muse
has always an appetite...
