- Pulchritude - (beauty)

⁃ Pulchritude (beauty) ⁃


• translucent
⁃ the cobalt night
• poppy's orange
• caught in river's
⁃ reflection
• stars rushing
• sonorously over
• ancestor's bones,
• those rocks
• smooth for their song


• while in cities
• barren horizons
• of urban misery
• a people tattooed
• with the scourge
• of daily life
• the hate of haves
• for those have nots


• no beauty?
• in constant
• asphalt
• though humans
• adaptable
• to surroundings
• find the occasional
• grandeur


• those rogue flowers
• deviant in color
• but stronger
• bursting forth
• in garbage heaps
• or up through
• shimmering
• summer sidewalks


• neo-code talkers
• read the codices
• dispute tales of
• the Rapture's
• empty
• end-of-the-world scenarios
• our world has and
⁃ will continue
• to transmute


• seizing
• tabloid tidbits
• people's fear
• of loss
• masticated
• and spit out
• as seeds
• of new hope
