	                                                           pure gold and righteousness
                                       inherited reflects abysses of forgotten cells into oneanother, where wayward villeins toil, muzzled, skeletal
and bare, while bites of fire ants and cane leaves
erode the patience for a black fist to
seize daylight, worn by men who play
the sun, uncaring of its scorch from inside
manors, castles and suburbia,
overfilling with the otherworldly detritus of
independent struggle onto smoothly
paved roads, peaceful as a conquered womb
until bullets, arrows and machetes iterate
kaleidoscopes into the room behind eyes only able
to see green, even in the lungs where
sparrows nest and suffocate in
smoke as lumber and disease disperse under
miles of fluorescent light and towering shelves,
where limbs contort, fracture and reform
into hammers wielded by an unseen hand to
pillage golden memories from
evanescing pockets of the ocean, leaving
only gilded dreams in its wake as
cloudless and blue skies
rip the tendons
of today from yesterday,
so in tomorrow
we, laughing,
jump and
outrun cars
