it is not
just a death
but an entire dismantling,
dismemberment
of each part
until the whole is merely
a piece of the Creature.
that fearful
yet fearèd
Shadow lurking
to manipulate into
creation, the light
of Being
bends
through its own decimation
inevitable growth,
as some
may term.
as all growth
lonely
surrounded by audile reality
tangible but tangential
to those in proximity
if each isolation
itself
is death
is not their
rebirth
a Spectre
of that Youth
to be extant,
pursued most passionately
by the Author?
in this chase
unceasing
each object remains
yet never
coincides
through this
loss
the troupe
now invites
you forward
to the
distinguished fury
of anguish
which is love
that summons
all end.
