This presence which pours has passed and your purpose now lacks it's significance.

So now:

We crease your skin,
twisting folds that bend,
your tie black; now bound,
you rest,
till needed again.

What once was returns in a whirlwind rapture of gray glory mocking your resistance.

So now:

Without a point,
and tightly fastened,
release this energy coiled,
outstretched claw,
purpose worthy erection.

You; perceived; a convexity of blackness; a silver screen marionette casting a melancholy curse.

We feel:

The bruising of fleshless,
this; which propels us.

We see:

The glistening streak,
this; which indwells in us.

My ode to you; the one that hangs in silence or bursts to reveal it's shroud and metal nails.

To dash with you...
a friend in hand.

Even dance with you...
a partner perchance.

Until we meet again
in these hands that call you friend.

My umbrella.

I'm reading deep
vividness catching eye
veins of different meanings
marbled throughout
but then I realize
the hole I dug was too deep
and up there
over my head
on the surface
was the answer
keeping out the rain
witty good
More o' this please

Happy to have found this, misery ~

Seems you have caught a wind of your words, within the interesting construction of this.

Liked very much

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".
