IRRECONCILABLE DISREPAIR

Thump, thump, thump.

The bedrock disjoints

the numinous irreconcilability

as when the maestro pleads

for one more chance

& all the subsequent supplicants

adorn their plates

with polite demurrals

& astringent chanting.

Go away, go away

& don’t come back again.

I loved you in the morning

but not on the way to the grave.

Sorted ever looser

when the fill is frozen

bundle every juicer

until you’re all undone.

Flip, flap, give, gasp

& the fever dies

in the fire of lies

and no more matters

’til the tipsy platter

falters on the plain

of inordinate & procrustean

(discordant & proleptic)

transinsubstantiality.
