there is a threat of minimum
a lack of cumulative
in character
in looming
limbo
in the street lies a lethal
tongue
lethargic thinking,
words flung of
a world shrinking, melting
a forest exposing, filled
with contenders
lost heroes - all pre-tend-ers
there is an implosion of retreat
inner worlds hidden
a hand set in un-mending - a black canvas
de-scend-ing
there is threat of the
minimum - truth without
maximum - and the collapse of
the synonym
