Unknown

The stone-image; the
speckled eye within
glaring into itself,
peering into gratitude, opaque
beautified knowledge.  The understanding
of commonality justifies observing
toward its sanctified silence,
the solitude equates
to paused shadows within
human-passersby vernacular.
The supposing of knowledge,
of the only-alive.  Traced beneath
the stone's body, a rendition of
its reflectional being, camaraderie
explicating hands of the visually unseen.

Dialectic


We begin beyond the began,
such terminology is transgressional
among heightened awareness
looking down upon the stressed vernacular
used in disagreement between
argumentative monotony.

Within Day


Day shifts unseen, child sobs, detected,
both vast in the revealed: after thought,
clarity.  Prize
the unfolding of found
between wrinkled explanatory
existences.  The roaming find
themselves in eyes glaring going
finding an end in conversational
skeletons.
