Unleavened Embrace



Given the way this embrace unleavened space 
too aerified to contend within, and in the same 
sense alleviated what makes the head spin but 
didn’t let th’ rest of solidity shrink t’ pinheaded 
whimsey persuaded you don’t exist; therein I’ll 
be held to the ransom of a caffeine executive’s 
discretion and ride the neap tide soaring to its 
own, inevitable conclusion coffee saved today

tho’ disintegrating into shards o’ banal illusion 
as it were - they figment something referred to 
as druthers we wear after an event’s age-past
epic failure invented a whole new language, a 
sort of economy without words bards share or 
sing to th’ moon while bathing in their dreams
