There is more space between my words
Than I intended
More outer space in my mind than inner space
Out of time
Reminds me of the plane ride home tonight
Our ecclesiastical conclusion on the concourse
Through the cliches of all blood sacrifice
One journey
Many paths
Every minute
Every coin
Returned to the slot and dropped below
Blood and red wine mixing
Tailored clothes and lipstick
Every minute
Every coin
Sacrificed upon the altar of our vanities
Eye shadow and frosted denim
Photo-editing phone apps
Synthetic opiates of the masses
Things taken along while traveling
A smear on the lens of
Your space telescope cognition,
Mas o menos, more or less
A question of intention
And Day-Glo apprehension
Toll booth sacred dial tones at night
Flashing in infinity
A spark and tinder
Consummated circumstance of carnage
