    Her. Her. Her. Future breezes imploreme to stay.But I'm no future. I'm no past.Only ever contemporary of this path.I'll sacrifice everythingfor all her seasons give from losing.She, I sighfrom The Mountain top.By her now. My only role. And for that freedom,spread my polar chill, reaching even the warmest times,a warning upon the back of every lifethat would by harming Hailey's play, ever waywardaround this vegetative rush of orbit & twine,awaken among these cascading cliffs of bellicose iceme.And my Vengeance.At once.The Justice of my awful lossset free upon this crowded land. An old terrorviolent for the glee ofends.But to those who would tend her, harrowedby such Beauty & Fleeting Presence to do more,my cool cries will kiss their gentle foreheadsand my tears will kiss their tender cheeks,and then if the Love of their Kindness, which onlyKindness ever finds, spills my ear, for a while I mightslip down and play amidst her canopies of gold.Solitude. Hailey's bare feet.And all her patience now assumes.Garland of Spring's Sacred Bloom.By you, ever sixteen, this World's preserved.By you, this World has everything left to lose.And I, your sentry of ice, shall allways protectwhat your Joy so dangerously resumes.I'll destroy no Worldso long it keeps turning with flurry & gush,petals & stems bending and lush,and allways our hushes returning anew.Everyone betrays the Dreambut who cares for it? O Hailey no,I could never walk away from you.-Haloes! Haleskarth!Contraband!I can walk awayfrom anything.Everyone lovesthe Dream but I kill it.Bald Eagles soarover me: -Reveille Rebel!I jump free this weel.On fire. Blaze a breeze.I'll devastate the World.\\Samsara! Samarra!Grand!I can walk awayfrom anything.Everyone lovesthe Dream but I kill it.Atlas Mountain Cedars gushover me: -Up Boogaloo!I leap free this spring.On fire. How my hair curls.I'll destroy the World.-Him. Him. Him. Future winds imploringme to stay.But I'm no tomorrow. I'm no yesterday.Only ever contemporary of this way.I will sacrifice everythingfor all his seasons miss of soaring.He, I sighfrom The Mountain top.By him now. My only role.

  2. Mark Z. Danielewski _ Only Revolutions

    We're the unmended, the untended,cold soldiers of the shoe. We're the neglected,the never resurrected, agonies of the few.We're the once kissed, unmissed and alwaysrefused. Because we're the unfinishedand feared and we're never pursued.And just that easily, on my behalf,I come around. Because I'm burning.The beast of War feeds only on the meats of War.And now I'm for carnage.Here's how my anguish frees.Destroy everyone of course. Because I'm unwantedand unsafe. And I'll take tears away with torments and rape,killings and fears not even the dead will escape.Encircling the Guilty, Ashamed, Blameless andEnslaved. Absolved. Butchering their prejudice.Patience. Their Value. Because I'm without value.I'm the coming of every holocaust. Turning no lost.Rending tissue, sinew and bone. Excepting no suffering.By me all levees will break. All silos heave.I will walk heavy.And I will walk strange.Because I am too soon.Because without Her, I am only revolutionsOf ruin.Because I am too soon.Because without You, I am only revolutionsOf ruin.I'm the prophecy prophecies pass.Why need dies at last.How oceans dry. Islands drown.And skies of salt crash to the ground.I turn the powerful. Defy the weak.Only grass grows down abandoned streets.For a greater economy shall follow Usand it will be undone.And a greater autonomy shall follow Usand it too will be undone.And a greater feeling shall follow Loveand it too we will blow to dust.For I am longings without trust. The cycloidal hastefreedom from Hailey forever wastes.Dust cares for only dust.And time only for Us.Because I am too soon.Because without Her, I am only revolutionsOf ruin.Because I am too soon.Because without You, I am only revolutionsOf ruin.We are always sixteen...
