Joshua Corwin

Messiah dreaming

 

We stand at a forgetful point.

A new silence awaits us.

We stand at a forgetful point,

crafted by ambrosial solipsism.

We stand at a forgetful point.

We’re in the audacious dark.

We stand at a forgetful point

in this kingdom of atrophy.

We stand at a forgetful point,

sun-bathing life necrotic.

We stand at a forgetful point,

forgetting our own image

in the mirror of shrapnel,

speaking shards into arteries

pumping lies parallel panic

attacks Alabaster America,

hollow as a ghost,

spiritless jaundice & gunfire.

We stand at a forgetful point.

Hangman of peace gazes at

child’s empty electric exorcism.

We stand at a forgetful point.

Unpursed lips slide somber SOS.

We stand at a forgetful point.

Can you hear Serenity’s sarcasm?

We stand at a forgetful point,

convinced of no next sigh

upon the altar of smiley emojis,

with the wind of woke wanderers

in Neon Nazi now.

We stand at a forgetful point.

Ahead of our bodies, we’re alive:

somewhere, somewhere else…

 

Counting tomorrow, we’re inebriated

with hope,

looking for the next fix.
