NEW YEAR

brackish backwash clouds the moment
where angels seize your attention
but columns of prophecy line the periphery
insulting even the most mesmerized minion
that love denied is the hidden anti-victory
clothed in claims of negligence or scornful pleas
but supremely willful eleemosynary not
towards the fruitful gain of touching
the sentient scourge of sorrow
for an eternity of aggrandizement

A fun thing to do is retracing words obviously written while stoned. The kick is trying to interpret what I was going for while psychedelicized and honestly believing my choices were perfect landings. So here's what I think I meant:

I'm feeling like God's talking to me but I'm not lucid enough to hear what he's saying. I'm too influenced by dogma and recitations to be certain, but I think it has something to do with turning my back on someone who cared about me making me feel guilty not because I went with my heart and soul but maybe because I was unhappy and decided to go where I was truly loved based on what is happening which is better than righteous.

This is why I retired my passion for attempting to be poetic. It was mostly awful as the above proves convincingly. (who the fuck ever tried to use eleemosynary in a poem?)
