Sonnets Of The Blood VII

This message hastens lest we both go

Scattered, with no character, to death;

Death is untutored, with an ignorant

For precious identities of breath.

But you perhaps will say confusion stood,

A vulture, near the heart of all our kin:

I've heard the echoes in a dark tangled

Yet never saw I a face peering within.

These evils being anonymities,

We fulminate, in exile from the earth,

Aged exclusions of blood memories-Those superstitions of explosive birth;

Until there'll be of us not

But foolish death, who is confusion's king.
