I, reluctanly, recall…
Walking,
without, a purpose. To,
a, sacked, disowned, &,
treeless, destination.
Without, labour, a name,
or, spread, tangible
roots.
Balking,
at, the, persistent, promenade,
of, time. In, all, it’s; direct-
ions. It’s; eons, &, the, resistant,
nature, of, my; permanently,
belligerent,
boots.
Constant. Hair, stood, shakily,
talking,
incoherently. Finely, dressed,
yet, unemployable, and, meandering,
while, wearily, wearing, it’s;
hirsute.

A, Norwe-
gian, fjord,
overlooking, loftily.
Like, sixteen-
aged, potential,
love. Like, several,
protege’s; full,
and, predicted,
futures.
The, raven’s, eye,
intersects, the snow,
as, though, a, beauty-
spot, on, translucent, skins; a-black
-serpentine-rock-set-in-silver-sutures.
I, counted, to, nine, as, the
magic, faded……… Mountainous,
terrain, murmured, with,
feathered, subtlety.
“To be, a fjord, is, to, truly, view,
the world, &, know, cascading, change,
over, those, that, are, newer.”

…dust. Ethereal disgust;
the, revolver, Earthly,
expires, coo d’etats. Droning,
are; discharges, of, mistrust.
Early, empires, of, devilment. Driven-on;
gritty, caustic, roads,
of, gristled, carbon, and, skin.
Exuviated, by, serpentine; clouds, gusts.
Makes, death; evolve.
Caught, in, each, tyre-tread,
is, every, copied, dynasty;
crushed, done, then… Chaos.
Eventually, everything,
self-destructs.
From, erstwhile, meagre,
nihilism, upended. Cometh,
mere, scintillating, diamonds. Of,
their; cognition, desires, meat. Dust…

Once, upon,
a crime,
unconscionable,
grime,
started to,
eat away,
at me;
mouldy.
But, I said,
“I am fine. At least none of the time.”
as, the snows,
set, in gray,
mixed, with,
green,
coldly.
Twice, upon, a shrine, I battled, a couple,
of, faces,
seperated,
by, a, single, line.
They, went, by, the name, of, Janus.
Cries, and, prattles,
of, zodiac signs,
and, serrated intent,
cut, through,
lives, of, nine,
and, cats, had,
twelve kittens,
in, their places.
Thrice, upon,
a shine,
a magic number,
frequented,
and, a trio, of, doored futures, occurred.
There, was, one,
boring, benign,
and, one,
unrelented,
and, a final one,
so, silly,
that, it, was,
absurd.
I, asked for,
none of them,
instead, for, the windows, above, them.
So, I, cleaned,
polished, and,
brushed, them.
Then, as, I,
declined,
the Moon,
presented,
a fourth option,
deferred.
It, was, a future,
of, mine,
as, free, and,
uncemented,
as, the, upward, cascading, ghost, of, a bird.
And, finally,
hencefourth, upon, that, which, is, divine,
I, now, fly,
over, and,
across, universal divides, filled, with, sky,
knowing,
that, in,
every,
teardrop,
that,
I cry,
lives, great, galaxies, of, wondrous, light,
and, that,
my sadness, creates, the forces, of, life.

I, awoke, steeped,
in, a, damp, open-grave,
as, unimport, and, hungover,
as, an, imperial-slave.
The, ship’s, surrendering,
mast, wrapped, around,
a, wreckaged,
unpieced, mishap.
The, dispirited, bow, of,
a, capsized, night’s,
deeds, unforgiving,
and, the, bottled,
land, of, the, imperiled, living,
I, spuriously, sent, as, far,
as, I, could, away.
I, knelt, in, paradigm-shifting,
waves, and, I, prayed,
on, an, upset, desolate, sea,
for, safe-passage,
to, some, better,
person’s, day.

Written by Callum Featherstone To capture, nurse, and, hold, the unfairness of it all. The rapturous, coal- heartedness, of Hellish snares, beneath, the Mall. When, afterwards, those cauldrons, spout nightly mares, of, bridled gall. The captor cursed, his embold- ened heir, is, a; hairless toupee, sheared, and, effortlessly, shorn.

Advertising, and, selling; avarice.
From, a soap box, of; loving hate.
When, it’s, screens, are, turned-off,
the blackened, square hole, is; cavernous.
When, it’s, viewership, is, turned-on,
the captor’s, uncleanly; reel in the bait.
Once, steeled, and, mettled, imaginations.
Welded, into; cerebral shackles.
Worn by, zombies; the meaty prisoners,
in, solitary cells, of; fabrication.
Webbed, lied-to, wrists; impressed upon,
misunderstand, their; upped hackles.
Furring clasps, around; synapses.
The servitude, of, stroke-ing, lost selves.
Capital flesh, is, imprisoned, in, the
cholesterol, of, shop aisles. It collapses.
“There’s, MORE, in the back… Hurry up!!
Stop thinking… Stock the shelves!!”
Want’s desires; outlived hope, and, outlast,
any, notion, or, sense, of, mind.
Audienced memories, are; captured,
by; dredged, forgetful, enmeshed; pasts.
‘Compatriots of Togetherness’, are;
canned myth; unlaughed. Re-runs; resigned
