THE OPEN MIC CYPHER

[Split]

awash in urban sprawl that settles
like coal dust in rain. oceans of gray.
life's a lost coastline that no one has named,
forsake a forgone conclusion, let it smolder,
enflame. corn cob Confucius. opium glaze.
foreclosed on your fate. baroque, for a change,
mortar & paste. unlucid. composing complaints.
poor souls ornate- the wealthy moreso mundane,
historical dates rather than praenomens sketched
on the coast in a sensuous copse with primal potent intent.
