Kintsukuroi

By Alchemist

As we gather at the tabernacle of babblings
Who shines through but the baubles of savages
A sacred geometry made by the science of averages

Alpha apes and contrived heavenâ€™s gates
The perils of pillars punctuated by primrose and pearls
The hang-manâ€™s lust and the love of a madamâ€™s young girls

Some say we must give in to our instincts clutch
What would that mean to Father Time and Mother Earth
Eve-olution and Atom of Eden, big bang to a legacy of dirt

A revolution with no such collection of knowledge
Hex the false matrons and Luciferâ€™s infiltration of our reactions
A kaleidoscope without the symmetry twisting reality in abstract directions

Creation, be blatant, Subjugation segregates our human station
Cremation, ashen eternal and we receive lifeâ€™s prospective so-so attractive
Creative, we are gods; reproduction and imagination no need to be radio-active

I like this piece. I feel it's deep, twisty flow & can see an alternate view of truth rise.

I think the name is perfect. We have the collective ability to not only repair, but make it even more beautiful than the original. I couldn't tell there was anything missing, your work is original and raw and always a pleasure to read. This was inspirational - XXOO
A former member wrote: There are poets here whom I can only grow by reading, poets who humble me, who make me wish to strive towards attainment of the uttmost perfection of our craft. You are one such. This weaving web has such a wise feel, grabs me at its beginning and holds me throughout. Truly we ARE gods, here to create beyond such illusions stated. Our purpose symbolic: Kintsukuroi, absolutely.

Humanity, like the prized lechatelierite with the unique flaws. Formed from the thunder of our tears and the lightening of our emotions. I once had the privilege to see art displayed formed from glass from beach sand, it was beautiful. Your poem reminded me of lechatelierite. I found your art, beautiful.
