·ezequiel

i sleep naked as i was wanton to do, but now with inauspicious morning rip me of my natural garbnevermore tolinger in nakedness thebroad day long. oh auspicious morning, now proscribed to another in innocence's hue, has left me plain. neither hope nor expectaction wakens me; sedimentary sleep petrificating sleep. corporeal liquid dancer once ere i was now corporeal frame vacuumed stagnant and replete grand escape outside my grasp as for all who came before me as for those whose untimely presentation to this unrequested ruse will duly come liberation from zeus' mighty hold an errand empty for all who've told from pyrrhus to ezequiel's rock all. all. all left descaled inches from the water's edge this airy grave--broad dusk swallows our last refrain: "i repudiate all i know: the lines and sacred show the autumnal grace whose tongue does pierce my unrelenting beating of hearts of hearts of men of earthened brazened wastelands burrowed deep; your strings i leave to you" and floundering, breatheless honour steals its measly store and i, although bereft of air, am penetrated, my lovers salty core with mind asundered my body, oh beautiful skinned, boned andsanguined plough returns deep and furrowed my mothers palpitating song incessantly resounds.
