AMONGST THE STARS

In the upper crust of cadences of contortionous resonance,

supplecast from windworn wartorn wind swarm,

rebuttal of a tropic of cancer,

topical indulgence in tow,

metronome of diachronic subsistence,

business of concentrations nevercasted wonderspent,

bucolic upset of neon avatarship,

gestational upkeep of concentric affluence,

despair is a fight you are doomed to win,

opulent and commencing of the apperception

of noteworthy interrupting provisional prestige,

custodial violation of councilship of obviation's foment,

craving dutybound estimation of consternation's delving opalescent

commencement deep in the marble's ember-veins,

deeper still in the copper amber of silverback nitrates,

specklecast into the regolith's catacombs where gems,

and dross dream of dearer distinctions.

Ripplecast in devaluation's projections,

minds cast in the signs of manipulations meter,

testing and testifying the aftermath of foresight and prescience,

helping the prioritization of configurations abstained

from the needless confluence of presence and absence,

a conceptual dasein separates the living phoneme,

from figure and ground, glowering in the glow of congealed concentrations,

freedom is a supple wish,

a dream of wanting aligned into everything,

solitary months of apperception and affluence,

notwithstanding the error of ways

pride is a viper, and questions sprawled out,

into the intelligence of hearts mindfully aligned,

pleasure is a principled composure of protocols,

daring to drearily discover the disavowals of disciplines,

and all the while the watchtower,

commencements of accuracy's precisions,

conforming with the central affluence,

of your humble place amongst the stars.
