derivation

 derivation


beat the editors back with the stick‬

‪that rattles the railings of childhood ‬

‪  where  were  they ‬

‪  when you were there‬

‪asking the walls to play your game‬

‪the dereliction to laugh an apology‬

‪for being what they are ‬

‪dirt under your fingernails ‬

‪never the haute couture of distain for the‬

‪spittle dust of time’s limed walls

the same walls that fell 

bricked in the randomness of the annealed words 

that will untie the gordian knot of memory 

and thereby rebuild dante’s furnaces

in the heart of a reddening past
