a blank face 
portrays the mask 
to be worn indefinite... 
multi-shadowed crayons 
poised to colour 
surrealy solemn threads 
into tapestry spun 
as rivulets of blood 
in bloom run from 
the barrel of a 
ribbon wound gun 

the sonic aura of bass 
reverberates through a room 
of hollow demure like silence 
captured in a calamity of codeine 
a cube of condensed correlation 
consumes that of the mind 
while tainting that of the soul 
a daze to enrapture this craze 
flows of the illicit travel through 
veins networked like a maze 

thought reels remaining uncaught 
as the uncaught remains unthought 
the deeper flakes of inner scraping 
the nights fight to see what will be wrought 

whispers whirl in the voids of vortex 
a tremulous cadence of incisive serenity 
to consume all in a dead star of vacuum 
the vague vagrant vagabond veils his veins 
crackles of fire aglow a page that 
has temporarily forgotten the embers of rage 
these chemicals erode angers crumbling abode 
as eyes seek out the paths hidden 
in the vast array of forks in the road 
retinal scanning seeks to crack the internal code 

a raptured face 
sets the task 
abroad limits infinite 
multi-echoed complexities 
poised to discolour 
fragiley woven threads 
into tapestries of dye 
combining rivulets of 
blood entombed with 
the chamber of a 
ribbon wound gun
