TONGUE DIVIDE

By ariadne

kaleidoscope
guest upsets the cemented faction of chameleon beat
a
sustenance unreprimanded for over horse-shoed defeat
distinct lump
of unmitigated partition glances out towards unseat
and
meaningless intrepid, debut constenance repeat.


in tumult
caper disengage weather unsavoury, clean response
a
depiction of the outside, parleys timeliness ensconced
umbra
dressed uncertain, tackled lacklustre and respondent
amid
trailer and fetid mailer, similacralide savant


in
miracle open-shard and reverberating tense
sentences
limousine decidedly, and animosity makes sense
so long
in cummerbund, titled earth-watch whilst immense
this
simulcry of morality, ecstatic never hence.


in dreamlike
statue of curlicue, this mass maddens
and
inverse deep and tedium meek, iconoclast gladdens
drenched
too below and not enough, the self-obligatory saddens
and locusts as plagues,
redundancy decays, the self construed as imagined


discrepancy
lifts up a key, and self coagulates in rhyme
in
visioned sine, inner decision kind guides any under time
development
discussion starts seldom unuttered -
as
self-recognition fabricates in chime.

  • A former member wrote: distinct attitude; self-indulgence in poetry at its best, truely. I love that you can use words to formulate a soundscape structure, even if i'm not sure what you mean. Sometimes the music is admired before the words are understood, as is this dancedpoem
