inactivity in secret unproductive in rough terrain How united we become with the turn of a contemptible person
The trench bursts open and realizes, friend to the sustained comfort of narrow margins
ignorant night lures– evil, pleasing mouthfuls: source of unhappiness
Unspecified otherwise pulls me into public view like birth–
Innocent, shown and revealed, lacking scarcity
I rise like yeast brilliantly bewildered the appeal dissolves
against the defense. The debt disguised and I am directed
into the dangerous calm center of beginning.
