Why All This Babble About Love?
The greatest actions are misdeeds;
in this walled room
primal instincts of history are:
blood letting, history is only
a memory, a recall
charisma of rotund, infectious
blood letting, art demeans
the non describable. Whoosh
let out that color called blood.
So, I chart out a language
a discovery of, looking out for
and loving the fortunate. Hate.
Our primal concern is blowing,
ripping off flesh.
Then, the incarnadine red
is a slow pass over to life.
After life.
Then, tell me
why all this babble about love?
