sophistication.


i was married to the stronghold,
held on to the back of a magazine
relived the reiteration
scuffled to the far side.

you're a song i vocalize as i read the libretto.
what if i carry an aristocratic disdain
day to week, to weakend.
have you ever felt this way?
wide-eyed.
oblivious, heedless, or ignorant.
perhaps naive.

number four.

i sift through the crumbled
ashes of youth
determining where i fell away
and lost the
nectar thoughts
that i once held close like
your simmering oils intertwining with
the kiss of emerald
i feared i had lost all i once
cherished and kneeling in
a room of silver
i revelated into unknowing
depths yearning for your
marble words
and
ruined feathers.
strangled by my undying need
for your sad thoughts and
spilling requiem,
i starve my mind
to relinquish these unsustainable
shackles and manacles,
revolting
through such an age of
enternity fringes.

the revelated mysteries.

some suicides are never recorded. they tell us that it's a sacrifice and we will not die in vain, but i'm not lost in the brainwashed frenzy like the rest of them. i've seen what happens. it's a social aspect really; the less fortunate, less worthwhile. they are relentless and not one thing will stand in their way. no challenge is put up. we're required to put in a circular window with specifications to the millimeter. that's how they get in.

at least you're warned. the letter is a death sentence, but you cannot show your angst, your fright. we're made not to show our expressions. there are no colors outside of the gray spectrum. there are a limited supply of all rations so no social change is supposed to occur, but i know. i know because i once lived outside. i secretly immigrated in, but i digress...

they pull you, grope you, scratch till you're through the circular window. the 'store house' is a seven minute walk from all buildings. design is a large specification here. you'll be drug down the brick laid street. the curtains close, the doors fasten, you go to the south side of your house because it's known that you don't stare. i've seen it multiple times. once to the storehouse you're stripped, cleansed, shaven. not an impurity in sight. you lie down in the room specified to you at birth. you lay as they flog and trounce you only until you're prepared. you're brought before our masted and then, you're gone.

it's a sacrifice. i've been told that they teach you from speaking age. your first words, your first salute. a sacrifice! a sacrifice! there is not sacrifice here, only figmented loyalty. i've longed emigrate back out. however, my letter arrived yesterday.
