Absolute
forbearance is a perpetual heartbreak living in bardo
There’s
no access in spaces between chambers for common folk
Some have
been induced with sickness long before the symptoms arise
Stones
aimed at pools of empty souls compromise a fluid ascension
No
ripples are proof of a skipping faith
Emotional
diffractions are dependent on glitches in DNA
The
center begins as an animation of broken promises
Offering
reincarnation as a consolation
An eternity
void of human contact causes a boundless ferality
The
epithet of ferocity is futile when the mandala has lost its heat
Insults
disguised as compliments are beatings disguised as laying hands
Damp cloths
given by an incubus are useless for tears mixed with oil
Omniscience
is a debilitation wearing vestments of low self-esteem
Making a
point hangs off a cliff of implausibility and vagary
Deformation
takes residence with love in the land of perdition
Neither
edified nor complete
A caveat
to perpetual deaths
