Desolation

Barbaric desire, despair’s impulse,
Flesh of flesh in incoherent rhythm,
Unknown but known
Then seen never again,
That which feels to protect.

For one moment to fulfill primitive nature
Fucking off destiny, purpose, the Ultimate Reality –
They go on, innocent of will and free choice,
The products thereof;
Abstracts untaught of emotion or the emptiness thereof.
