For my friend Justin. RIP

JTF

I see you now as you were before Before particles, before lungs Before dust to dust I see you as eon smoke A meridian baptized in digital clay Pastiche of chords and notes Torrents of jeweled paint This galloping gust of solar flares Broadcasting across purple skies I see you just as I see the heavens divide

Only to be interrupted Seized in the beat of a nanosecond

Fixated eyelids unlock In fits of palpitations And you dissolve into the analog The ebb I flew disbands And I find myself entranced in a circle walk With nothing left but a wrinkled recognition Brimming with vengeance But no saboteur

I remember now where I am And where you were

Memento Vivere

Balance is a crippled umbrella  

propped and staged

Legs cracked into a capital V

-Vae Victis

Greater than the sum  

of approximate wisdom  

A four-sided limbo boxed in perpetuity  

Weekly therapy shots thaw out as

cubicles transcend from room to room

documenting candles erode  

into nebulous rapture

A timeless stop watch set  

to the senility of a cell tower

Condolences and proverbs course

through weeping mirrors

as the forsaken data is left

to choke on the thumbs of gratuity

You walk You fly You drive

luminous and uninhibited until you slam

into a belligerent oblivion

pro-rated and locked in the  

gridlock of convalescence  

The juggernaut of all impediments

An event-horizon of meta-analysis

superimposed, stalking  

with random precision

This monopoly of wreckage unsuspecting

coiled in the common brush

set its indifferent sights on the most

undeserving of victim

Invaluable treasures always amass unwelcome oxidation

I still can't wrap my conscious spirit around this hieroglyphic labyrinth

And I detest those pitiless waiting rooms and their impotent white walls

I hate those arthritic chairs

Faceless Blatant Explicit

This entire place is an abyss

of countless broken hearts

bleeding recycled grief dangling

from centrifugal vines

Like an odyssey with no destination

A guide devoid of direction

The Gehenna where empty pockets

beg for more time

and the sun seems to never rise

I try to imagine myself rooted to  

the wasteland of a hospital cot

to corral some modicum of perspective

but it's easier to smoke a solar flare

than to prime my mind for what

you were forced to endure

Just the mere thought drives ingots

through my glass shield

I can still feel our farewells echoing

through the hallucination hallways

of your IV and monitoring machines

Don't you give up now! No wait,

that is fucking selfish of me

Fanged fingerprints will forever resist

the cornucopia of silent ancestors

Fortitude is a kinetic force that you were

able to harness with sequined vigor

Twilights flickered and swerved

marring the fickle pride of Thanatos

backtracking in figure eights

The kiss of kismet was fated to wait

a few more days

a few more months

a few years

When we've reached the peaks of vocation

And absorbed the stillness of depth

No burden will crack our resolve

No affliction  

And no death

This chain is sound and absolute

And I will carry the flag

Resolute  

-Mike Nero
