Persistence and residue

Sumptuous flotsam

Curious beyond the swollen pulse

Reduced momentum

Peristaltic curse, epileptic gulps

                To shadow; now slide bellywise toward the guise

                Engulf, display as prey, be swayed and act surprised

It’s mere injection

                projection, selection

                inaction, reaction

A catalyst for something new

Do you dance to the same persistent residue?

                The beat of defeat

                Attacks our retreat

Leave all binds behind

In the telepathic blind

Jam
