Above the Human Nerve Domain

To unlock predisposives in carbon
to cancel sleep as pyretical drachma
not as transaxial summa
or intense aboriginal invasive
but as promenade
as forgery by craft
as soiled apparitional anagram

yes
as a dark stochastic wheat drained of its magic as drift
being boundary
being hellish invention as grasp

I am thinking of aroused electrical blockage
of human monsoon killing as treaty
as breach
as strangled impulse by identity

I mean
the psychic root which is stained by dialectical illness
by the thought contained in black ozonal mirrors
where general slaughter is reflected
where the mind impels its wits by bleak molecular isolation
by stunted mangrove withdrawal
by absence from the life of euphoric solar trees

such prone negation
imploded from the realms of a suicide foundry
of broken wisdom as diamond
it is an eon of fallen snow in a well
an injudicious barrier gone awry
the ingrained Eurocentric example
of the hatred of the darker integument
with its combative belligerence against the core
of volational mystery

so what concerns me
is a yoga which implodes the sun
which compounds its runics
the body then electric
like a stunning sapphire serpent
with the arc of its cells
alive as interior alter species
as an eye of analogical waters

no longer of ennui
of the praxis of perfidious helium atrocity
extended by the vapour of betrayal
by the dazed imperceptives in the molecules

here
in such preternatural enclave
I swim in the murmur of sun dogs
of kindled potentate spasms
like interior distillation
from Moorish pre-Copernica

as if
at the height of Kemetic day
there existed the dauntless sphinxian geometries
those pre-existent personas of lightning
no longer of the form of gravity as bastion
of lingering ammonia in the genes

but of absent chemical flaw
the body becoming
the magic flight of a transmuted corium
of the bell of a bloodless liminal amber
