slip between these satin sheets
and preterition is simplistic rationalism
a torpid corpse of yesterdays
and tomorrows,
a dispassionate proposition,
devoid and defunct.
prophylactic sheaths of
callous apathy
slit and peeled by promises of
some nebulous sublimity.
an impetuous catharsis
rips away the ethereal tourniquet,
a preclusion of sentimental transience,
and autonomous deliverance
from long stale mortality.
