a scribe of the universe

we all fear the doom

the time

the tomb

in distant rooms

disavowed

new smiles

three’s a crowd

and i a scribe

outside of time

never the meter

balance

rhyme

sensation of my own

design

sensation   unknown

                                grown

    groan

growing

given  no

quarter

always two lovers outside

the door

always wanting

more, more

fake it

fake it for their sake

for your own name

fake it

not so much

               you break

into

disembodied

voices

in the wind

in the world

the door, but an inch

too loud

not enough to split

runaway trains

fake it for foreign sense

wrapped in a stained

white

shirt

not my own

a fragmented history  to

your own lies

               on your knees 

                           to others cries

never me

             not my own

   never myself

not in time

rolling details into beat rhythms

gods of road and shine

made false by weak dreams

of skin, of bleak, of mine

wrought over industrial skies

tonight in effigy by mother

father dies

so too an unbound heart

souls without body

body without goals

so sad and noble martyrdom

a scribe

the universe
