AN OPALESCENT SKY

Eradication's turbulent oscillations,

ruled by spellcheck,

ambient contention of their ambient obstacles,

swelling in the lifeforce's amniotic memory.

Life is a venture, constant and contingent,

Like a Salomeic Medusa,

petrifying with the thinnest veil,

of memory and want.

In the guise of ambient disentanglement,

I am arbitrarily seeking stasis it seems,

from forces necessity deems,

deeply worthy of the wanting woe of wisdom,

yearning for options,

that turn the heart,

onto the heart of matters,

matters forever ambient,

under an opalescent sky.
