Summary:
"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written before any came to pass." Psalm 139:16
 
 
 
 
Formless husk repeats in motion,  
numb of speech for hidden meaning
 
mutable eyes
convert blinking lights
into skyline heights
 
occulting signs
in public life
scrutinized
 
ingested parchment
ritual script,
monotone clicking
stalks & plies 
 
sorcerers code
subconscious ties
 
productive trance
and gentrified
 
skyscrapers pride
 
this high-rise view
of systemized right
 

 
machinations hide in pattern,
toiling tongues with office jargon
 
proselytize
by fluorescent light
polluting the night
 
energy as wage
or mud if time
personifies-
 
digested numbers
execute words,
density ticking
clock & cries
 
mechanized spell
to wire the lies
 
constructed smile 
of compromise
 
skyscraper prize
 
this high-rise life
of synthesized rite

    1. hello dearest poet for a while I thought the bible was a spell but then I heard that the Lord’s prayer for instance allows you access to a different vibration…I also you to say manna from heaven that wouldn’t even suffice a flea I would argue with God and tell his you’re driving me bannas with that…I don’t understand God to be the being in the churches cause I didn’t meet him there though I tried… I met him in my day to day mainly outdoors in the wind and trees the earth below me…I went mad for a bit and wasn’t eating or sleeping and I have to confess manna from heaven which is his promise to us sustainted me and kept me safe… this is a great write I wouldn’t worry about the men in skyscrapers too much what they have can be taken from them in an instant just like castle walls of old watch them fall ❤️
