A digital cut and paste poem that reads: Make sure your / cathedrals / are on the march; / reverberant in their / metamorphic formations / as the world fills with / imperfect reflections / in / manic repetition / of a different order. / recognizing / therein our own / grotesque / simulacra / watching, waiting, / all you will do is laugh / Yet / in horror / Consigned to / spiraling movement, / hands grasping for / waterfalls, / swarms of eyes, / again you seem / as scattered as the / wayfaring / foregrounds / their fragrance / that weeps / a consuming malignancy / shifting and spectral, / where I have never been.

Composed on the 3rd of November 2025.

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