not knowing how to take him

there’s little to 

silence 

in processions 

possessions 

trafficlight’d

scenes of

crime

my mind 

won’t leave 

behind

time’d

always commence 

with a shot

bam boom

flatline straightline bottomline’d

always finish

not knowing how to take Him

a ratio’s cruelty

whittle’d

metronome’d

clay sunburn’t

splinter’d

a ratio’s cruelty

an additional losses 

buzzing saws

buzzing turnstiles

buzz alone

buzz’d bang boom

hallow salving hollow

words reign high

from thee cannon

dottedlines on maps will change

afar 

a whiteflag 

planted squarely

in the 

heart of the matter

defuse. 

refused 

loitered lost

a landmine straightaway 

a reactionaries must

night visions 

neon dreams

a Freudian ladder

ring rang rung 

archers bow pilgrims bow

salient silence

a broken silence

hallow salving hollow
