to lust is to loathe

to lust is to loathe

as these notes take on

a pleading tone

that adds to its pleasure

substance of solution

a seeding tone

just below indifference

which is the level

where you should be

how it should feel

how it should mean

I can still be

altered radically through

slow-motion warp speed

in through each thread

urgency is gradual

in nature or rhythm

whether it catches up?

hangs together loose

matter congealed

faith as idolatry

I'm not one to judge

if you need purity

at this concentrate

but I won't ever

under stand under

by projecting, not displacing
