Thought as Philosophical Torment

In the mirror of excessive drift
there exist those values
which exist within schisms
within error wracked spectrums
which glow by means of vapour
above anti-dimensional obstruction

the visage of metrics tuned to a mesmeric lisp to a rancid facial dice thrown across ethers across 3 or 4 sierras or voids
so that each sculpting each prism advances the apparitional understanding to a macro-positional scalding which collapses which takes on the centigrade of absence bound to invisible comradery

which means velocity is obscured
& resurrected
beyond the scope of a-positional turquoise
beyond the scope which defines its way as jaundice
by a circular language as dragon
the face in the scope of the millipedes
no longer condoned to withdrawal
to persecution as flaw or advancement

for instance
the blank theogony of vowels
or the in-homophony of distance
like an open vibrational nerve
or the hissing of ruins in a buried nautical port

one thinks
of a sublimated mountain illness
contradicted
as in a reddish form of dysentery
& in each intrinsic nuance all the symmetries obscured
the maps one comes to know
are but boulders which are shattered by spoilage

therefore
the fragments hung in peninsulas
are suspended
& the visage in its demeanour
like a de-ingested shrine
subsumed in the body as a rudderless coherence
