We are tempered by love
Made to endure its scorn
And feel its fury. We live,

We dwell in the city run
The streets together, don’t
Recognize our power of -
Will - contorting to our desire

So be down,
to fall fast-forward.

Into the ultimate pit of Initiation
Beyond life’s demise and lengthy
Proclamations of trial -
and tribulation - testimony.

Eat the untimely-ultimate -
Wrath of love -
With your ill-tempered passions,
and your sweeping mannerisms

Make matters insane by tempting,
Teetering penumbra fulcrums
Of indecision with your wavering
Snap-decisions.

Eat direction chosen with mixed -
Emotions - and rest on tatami beds
Until you satisfy desire with corruption.

Find yourself defeated before
Smiths hammer forge your every-atom
Into destiny spears and dharma wisdom.

Eat one grain of rice per iota of sand
Until, you find your path again;
Lost under rocks beyond the bottom
Of ocean’s and earth’s grip.

Decide your fate; embrace destruction,
Eat fury and fire.

Tear out your heart, and give it full;
Sequester your soul to its origin
Place firm resolve as direction
and decision,

Announce your apotheosis to
Your nemesis; find your distraction
Then destroy your antithesis;
Destroy yourself, and become again.

Then, live, | feel, thrive - move |
