The grand spatter contentious
of droplets patient caress
to concrete majesty fashioned,
the innumerable content of sand
Solvent, swaths of light
break towards unification
Primrose streaks highlight
the tears in blue nimbus
Amazing grace, the chortles of colour,
murmuring, shatter upon my flesh.

The beads streaming down
my grand arch and hollow
are immaculate conceptuals

Reunite, again
invigorating florin senses
of life recreated
in each solidified breath
Ascension
each empirical blessing
strewn upward through sinew
are drawn blades of grass.

We paint the skies
with the blood of warriors,
the scent of funerary pyres,
and the cries of buzzards
All eyes must someday
leak again into the stratum
to fall again,
tears in heaven.
