Delusions of beauty
what staggers 
unbowed

impudence sways
like a bed 
of human flowers

eternity 
sly wild and torn

uncertain graces
churlish, 
airborne

what plies 
for franchise 

in winged streaks 
wincing through peaks

transfigures 
the adorned

sweet ears, 
overreach

traffic in visions
that bade and raid 

for the undefinable, 
a signal for peace.
