Seek symmetry in juxtaposition
Fleeting elation, natural harmony
Nothing but a flash, and shift, and simper
Body, body, body
Geometric ecstacies just below the skin
Subsurface scattering
Fall, fall, fall
Just fall apart
Fictitious visions, reveries
Synapses crash and fall apart
Break, glory
Jumpcut to a hard reset

Cogs churn fictions of reality
Idle syncopations tip and titter, they study me
She, in her decay, sits and shifts in her geometry
Simpers, taunting me
Veil of moth and mace
Coalesce in convalescent ecstasy 
Moon cognitions shift and simmer
Subsurface scattering within a world of skin
Too many convex geometries, too many half dreams
So hard to recognize the light

I have visions of you emerging, in your grace
Out of the water
Unclothed, in your purity, you wade out
I have visions of you sitting on a throne
Your seneschal resplendent in his white frock
Lowering the crown unto your head
You simper, but your eyes are as cruel as stone
I have visions of you standing before the altar
Throwing your crown down before his feet
It shatters and time becomes irrelevant
Love and life, fear and history, all temporary

Seek what is temporary
Lose myself in the symmetry
Cursing my flawed geometry
Rippling across my skin
The way the pelvic bones press against the skin
The way the ribs push out as you lean back
The way the collarbone just barely peeks out
The way the chest rises and falls as you breathe
The way blood pushes through the skin in droplets
Such perfect geometry
The shape of a god
Mortal gods that we are

A shadow upon a shadow
A billow and a breath
A touch from your lips
A glimmer and a glimpse
He's been here before
Black iron brought ease and ecstasy
To kiss skin and blood
To kiss his still-beating heart

I sought release in juxtaposition
With clinging to the same fate
That I've met with a thousand times before
I haven't felt the fire for a long time
I've been stuck in the symmetry
Maybe more so than before, now that I'm in the center
It returns to me
Time and time again
The same visions
The same vices
Everything is the same
