Against angels, anarchaist of apertures, able and accommodating
Bowing and begging, positions of biblical binary
Cathartic chaos, choosing or coercion
Details of former deity, decorated with disease
Entering, ensared, an envelope of epic ethos
Forging fires, forbodding sense of failed father figures
Gaslight in gowns, gathered Gods giving grief
Hating his home, hindered by humans heard hiding
Icarus, indicted by innovation, ideas injuring ideals
Jester of a jaded man, just there for laughs
Knight before King, carrying out the killing
Late nights laid out in lamination, last stand
More, more, give more
Naked, near nothing,
Of ones that hold holy notes, only those produce pain
Pews hide secrets across their hollowed halls
Quiet Quiet Quiet
Repent Repent Repent
Some say sanctuary while others say sin
Tear, torn, tattered, the test of testimonies
Unable, unwilling, both useless and used
Vicious vices, vexing those too weak to forgive
Witness withholding warrants, warping whys with who and what
Xerox his insides and you’ll find a hole where his heart was
You yearingly took from his plate and left him starved
Zonal states of agony is where he lies.

What if no birth happens?
To remember that our collective human experience is woven into the fabric of a vast and intricate tapestry. Reflecting on the universal phenomenon of birthdays, we find ourselves confronted with the humbling reality of our existence. Despite the individual significance we attach to our special day, the sheer volume of births occurring globally serves as a reminder of our shared humanity. On any given day, hundreds of thousands of babies enter the world, each one adding to the tapestry of human history.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
