SCATTERED REMAINS OF A TARNISHED KNIGHT

blade of misunderstanding

slices down to the moist bone of personality

reveals debris

glassy romantic cinders

black onyx stones of remorse

embedded into a matrix of subtle distrust

deposited by wretched fingers

worshipped

immense spans of time ago

he is a series of complex equations

curling around skewed stalactites of suppressed rage

thoughts littering the horizon

receding into the distance

honor decaying into splinters of psychic vagueness

waiting in vain for a transcendent bauhaus event

to liberate him from his linear fate

of remembering time segments elapsed

when the illusion of chivalry reigned
