[now the restoration]

now the restoration

now the gestation

now the renewable

now the excess

now the boom

now the sanguine

now the storyline

the photosynthesis

now the toes curling

now the lassitude

now the infinite

i have said my piece unbeknownst to me

who there hardly ever was

obliteration the brunt of it, 

fetching smithereens
