Marvel

the days of future passed
and in them the corruption of the story
changed the way that woman was
the black beast of suicide
became as mutable as paper onto pen
and so with hackneyed understanding
he calls her through the cosmos
and intends to free her from the prism
of obscurity like Perseus perused
the mica and the vacuumed shapes
creates a lens to halt all light
and with it change the metrics of all knowledge
death tried to steal his secrets back
small smoke in the conflagration of the universal set
for the phoenix would live again
and new the pathways of kinetic friendship
i can tell you dear but not dearest friend
that the pathways to superbia
are loitered with the walking bones
of useless salamanders and the slaves of salvation
cloned in out-sized suits
take death for what it is
a recognition of our failings and our virtue
see that at your prospect
and from the distant planes of cosmic entity
take her hand and
marvel at achievement
