Logomachia
Consecrate then desecrate the whiteness of the page:
a film noir murder scene
erases - replaces
and fills in the blank
with sacrificial crimes committed in the name
of the Verb, upon this stage.
Traces of logomachia inscribed in lingual debris
struggle sans origin, sans end writes the script
from which I read
voicing and enacting my ownmost role
in this parody
of "liberty."
Silence, Spirit these words away (from me)!
Sacred lines written in secret and in silence
can only be dis-connected - fragmented
by all-devouring Time.
Never erased - Never effaced,
but by the turning page of History overturned
whence, without recompense,
white sacrifice will ever recommence.
