Kayak, Catacombs, and Comatose: Comatose (All My Ink Falls Nil)
by slaveofone

The sages on the portico renounce their familiarity with consciousness

Listen to their drumbeats

You will see soon enough that these motions are but illusion

Only the stoutest torso can bear it

Did the answer elude them?

Cackle cackle is all I hear, this perception precipitous

In the reservoirs sleeps Satisfaction, whose dreams are deadly

No more, it seems, no more

There was little or no difference between the arteries, and so I cut one

Rabbits dwell there

Guided by a thousand papacies

Rope ladders can be cast from the shining parapets

Such solitary ruins depict my father’s fall into slavery

This is the tepid nectar the gods of Greece forgot
