Word Dissed Tango
Inside my personal phantasm
There abides the antiquated
Regale of Mind
Feeding itself
Vowels,
Branding tattooed skin
With irreversible shadows
(& donated crypto
For my favorite cyber-church)!
I’m still stricken by those words
I unconsciously (Re)-write
Calling me stupid:
An indigestible menu of molecules
Blown by sexless winds
Emanating from a hot fandango
To make
Summer winds
Worsen,
While I burn for the real Word
Of selfless Truth
Cleansing my blood’s
Disappearing
Ink
