flimsy grandiosity


uncounted clouds swarm over

hoarding droplets in confusion unfiltered

without gravity manifesting itself, but

enmeshed in journeys digressing into mist

 

unruly waters undulate into

streams in upheaval, folding over boisterously,

unassuming predecessors of life’s genesis,

torrential cosmogony roaring into being

 

unmeasurable hillpeaks impose above

and pullulate over pure arrogance, they harken

like coiled snakes vying for an escape,

churning, tossing, upending their fate

 

unmatured wood strands soak beneath,

they breed as masses of temperate searing veils

betraying the odious necessity of forgotten

multiplicity and undercurre indulgence

 

unmatched predators soar up catching thermals

they teem into insatiable frenzy, permeating

valves of escape and clogging any channel

of declarative possibilities secreted away

 

unfathomed vultures swoop down violently

spreading an inflection of distressing signals,

populating overcrowded nests in eagerness,

basking in excess and flimsy grandiosity
