Stone and Glass (Un-tidal)
To escape from what can be escaped is solely declaration.
And seeking inculcation to speak replete with hesitation,
Floating fleetingly one speaks to me as all with one persuasion.
The lack of provocation now anesthetizes patience,
Aggressively subdue subversion, bare and almost naked.
Falling out and into stations reclaims placid sublimation
Of destroying the equations, all to toy equalization.
Just a simple small novation, not so simple no vacation,
Coy and boyish prankish claws imbued through sequestration.
And walked imaginations placate inmates from their spaces,
As innovative animates that novate expectations.
Flee the breeze of subjugation, Seek the tree of promulgation,
Teeter totter on the fodder of canonical displacement!
Seek ascetic sights in basement, Habit addicts toward complacence,
But attack the static hermeneutic taciturn evasion.
Attic shattered by debasement, Realize that inculcations
Realized that selves entrapped them elsewhere through their denigration.
But if only for a nascent, Stone and glass were left adjacent,
To adjust the sense of seconds seeping slowly from the latent,
Castes of castled shelled causation limit bent from end gestation,
But gestalt and exaltation oft to mend spent designations,
So we swim towards what one faces, about face then take a stake in,
All the states, or only one, but that conundrum’s graved mistake is:
That a mask is made for taking off and to be put back on,
But is never dropped, nor ever lost once worn one day long.

awesome complex work you have there. I like the Poe-esque rhyme scheme you got going that makes it snowball to the end with a crash. Thus far my interpretation goes like this: things or ideas can enter the realm of possibility if they are merely believed to be possible. So the belief (snowballing) gets bigger and bigger until the crux of it’s fruition is right in front of us, but for whatever reason, we “about face” out of doubt (the crash). It appears that last stanza is warning us that once that fatal mistake is committed, it never leaves us. It may appear in regretful memory or another full-blown manifestation with a different belief, but as you say, it “is never dropped, nor ever lost once worn one day long.” The only solace is that it’s just a mask, and even though it will always be in our possession, we can choose never to put it on again if we only have the will to do so.
Not going to lie, I had to look up a bunch of words, but that’s just cuz I don’t have anywhere near the vocab you do, but that doesn’t detract from the poem in any way. This is really solid poetry; well done.
