dog-eared didactic
Richard Carfagna

to deny the self

		a semblance of nonunderstanding

	   infatuated with the machinations

			   the subtitles of one's thots

		      opening its source ...



the voices carry

	       their intention

	 as only the remnant    of the unnamed

			       retains an identity

   placing a face

		on the rage

			 thot abraded

		  or expunged in the efficacious

					   gloss

			 later tossed or turned to

				  upon the inert page

		  who thinks  a discord has ceased

					  to effect the impasse

				  or has not darkened

			 the heart with disquietude
							     (?-

           compassion's  solidarity  unvoiced

			  sieving

		   the monochromatic  and  diminishment

			  turgid  marrow-tempest

		       abandoned solemnity

			     amid the innavigable-stillness

			       the unmoored wreck

		     left				autonomy

		          a somatic variable  to cling to

			        the sterile purgations

			    disseminated        alienation's

			         impervious core


	    the justifying   philosophies

				    pursue the page

		  mentoring the abstract

			 valencies of violence

	       certain there are  distances

				    closing the gap

			    or maybe a framed portraiture

			    hanged    to portray   a prescient aura

		      attenuated    yet lingering        broken

			    ontic-edge-presence
