Contradictions
Rot to grow
 A boneless flesh
 In human-shaped shells
 Under the eyes’ naiveté
 Freshen away from death
 
 Under beating logic
 Crush a dancing end
 And leave alone a man
 To sing himself to sleep
 And cry a toll of forgetting
 On throbless heart
 
 This cool immunity
 Is a glass mirror
 Of judging gazes
 That try to reflect clearly
 The blind of masks
 This warm vulnerability
 
 Cling the lips
 To promises past
 And breathe in the blue breaths
 Above the surface grasping
 But it bleeds through the fingers
 Let go of speech
 
 Show no love
 To that which is imaged
 And spilled out to be lost
 Among their empirical reality
 The fight is unwinnable but
 Hide no hate
 
 Keen and cold
 As death and eyes
 Only can be at the end
 For a chance at infinity
 Truer than their
 Unperceiving warmth
