Curl and curl the cursive written loops that imbue anonymity
With grandiose meaning. The self-imposed poet deity shines
Caustic light of revelation upon all that goes against its lines,
That render clarity out of candy reverie, the gumdrop hermit
Carved out of starry allegories, equipped with a filmic mind.

Through elliptic figure eights the elusive laureate skates away
And beyond the already-trodden constellations of a word’s world
To enter the outlandish, make sense by mastering its very lack
Rephrase the straight-forward, revise what has been known.
A flushed face caused by smooth creation, make-believe at play
The fashionable shut-in wields the diamond pen, stanzaic violence
On speed-dial, on the front lines against the dreary grayscales.

To etch dazzling verses onto opalescent jewels, made for was I
Convoluting the context you so desperately hanker for, believe me
I shall keep doing until my incantations run their glinting banks dry
If the rational treasure is what you seek, my numerical wanderer
Afraid I am that here you will find, not the riches of structure
But a most hallowed thing: the eclipsed scribbler’s candy cane heart.
