Magus Magnus

THIS SIGNATURE IGNITION

can be retraced as
shimmer air
silhouette

clean up and cart away the debris.
Acoustic signature,

damaged shingles.
Spectral signature
reflects off shards of glass –
what you can no longer see through
cuts you.

Eclipse.

Jovial
vital rays
eggwhites in melted butter
the solar disk jiggles sign(aper)ature
as per
Sing, Nature! – the Totality

Am I solo?
Photosphere
yolky ardor
cynosure

in thy desire & in thy might
Sign/Nature

There is a name for everything that hurts.
A brick is porous, and eventually crumbles
of what seeps in. Abyss of who I am.

Time signature
trembles
pulse

from rungs of multiverse.

This verse, plus
you’re the one I ask to hold the ladder.

Basket without helium balloon, fixed to stars (suns).
Never to get over your scorched gorgeousness –
everything according to its pride
diabolic signature
thunderbolt.
They who do not honor their own losses
commit crimes.

Scorpion key dangling from our rainbow tether.

If you’re going to do it,
do it with a flourish.
