Surrendering gentility to redemptive kaddish Lain bare beneath a forbidden equanimous ideal Appreciating the sins as they unfold within purest Squeals of the onlookers as we spit from the balcony Eaten up and affirmed as a fourth place Being valorous can hang with wet shirts We shall arise and shatter as hematite-skinned Eggs having tumbled from the wall before reconstituting Each flake in each other, forever understood and appreciated We complicate our insides Each glimpse of you ganders The swan learning to fly For this and all future occasions Landing for you is the measure of my soul Greenest of whirling grasses beneath our approach Supporting your happiness is my only task Eastbound and down on you, grandly-risen Sun of my sky Transgressive strands of denim seated in my mind Torn and played into a lattice of pilling and resisted care These physical ballasts are temporary Our cities' life is spellbound in dust
