WORD PORN
not so rare
averring silence
was the fortune
in how to be quiet
about truth
belaboring an obvious point
and a secession
a breaking away
without withdrawal pain
like a birth gone wrong
the wrong doping protection
a fortune favor
a house of cards
playing to the rule
is cheating at every singularity
while wandering
without double exposed
as a Golyadkin humiliation
becoming an ignoble Aaron serpent
an Abdera with no Bristal waters to wash away
no one to hear the call
of the unconverted
throwing up cards
like a dog with fleas in his ear
having listened
there is no golden ointment
Latona extracting her revenge
against a thieves latin
finding no escape in a month of five Sundays
truth lost
sin die
a sinecure glorifying a new silver age
trafficking in sacred things
becoming an earth monster
a Judas kiss condemned by it's own ambition
vernal verbal moon-drops
a paphian who splits hairs
a Janus when even speaking truth
in pari passu by lesbian rule
a libel opening towards a lich-gate
and through the catch
where the lictor awaits
is seduction into the arms of Posperpina
to that new Neaera
of our own word porn
