Poetic Justice

(gimmie that on-screen religion)

Among philosopher gall stones
and greenback visions of worth
falls the human accomplishment,
event rouged by blood and rust.

The howl and the healing sound
upon the same blue wavelength
in squalor as real as horn-play
only the possibilities aren’t real.

Within your future robot domain
apothecary window shopping day
glazed and dimpled through the
on-screen deep drone neuronet,

you will keep on as darkly as in
any age no matter how candle
yellow mild, how nude on a rock
your peace of being mellows.

Treacherous and leaf-blown
speech still defines a boundary
kept within, the best and worst
hidden in the colors you touch.

Song of hell upon which mystic
roses rise where sound is lost
uniquely wasted on a visual art,
gilt edge sprays and berries

resist any charmar drastic fix
before religious rustics find
this suitable darkness perfect
for their final poetic justice.
