A digital cut and paste poem that reads: all it takes is one slip. / and / I'm / down again, / vessels, wrecked, / failing to hold / their shape and sound / with no words anymore, / friend and deceiver. / You know that I have / let evil tread / run amok / demanding, urging, / knives being sharpened / at the edge of myself, / inviting violation, / for yet another / site of my failure / anticathartic / Moments and eternities / linger, and I know / Nothing else.

Composed on the 14th of October 2025.

I intend to eventually revise the visual appearance of this one to be more in line with my newer work.
