insignia compendia
by Elizabeth Jill
t' take the sword into the aire
and slash the pronouns brooding they're
t' shred the adjectives, the joys,
and spit inflection w' all its hoise
this is abduction most severe
that fleeted brute such brought you here
t' tangle wit and climbing pulse
and break your mind to syllables
t' flick the gerund out to sea
and drink its salty finity
insignia indignia
compendia condencia
insignia indignia
compendia condencia

manufactured in the heart |
