Stripped back constructs
of disguised suppression
stir hopeful postulations –
I am bare-boned, dreaming,
questioning realities marred
by incestuous suspicions,
intending renewal, probing
dank floorboards housing
codependent disharmony.
This state of disrepair
manifests ego-inundated
trivialities, reveals burial…
blackened circles of rage –
coffin-like – implode, emit
entombed screams – echo
tremors of past fault lines,
destabilizing augmentation –
the liability of renovation.
