I Am Santo

Fiction, poetry, music and mindscape pictures by creative artist Jason Santo

Get my science
My inglorious monolith
Gleaming like a wet spire
Left to inspire
The quiver, shake, shudder
Of breathless ecstasy
And a soul back-broken,
Half-intent and bent
Wondering why this wasn’t home
And the cordial moan
Was a sip when a draft beckoned
Begged and swore
The cuss of yearning
An unblessed prayer
Where God turns the shallow eye
Quaffs from sweeter nectars
And sentences the lonely
For the lost,
Spirits sent whirring
In the bloodstream of tomorrow,
Always yesterday’s mistake.

A ruby eclipse and the stuttering ghosts of a vernacular ill-equipped to combat solemn notions. Swig the crimson, toasting the grim light and allowing bellicose yearning to tear spirits from limbs, souls run into hot exposures where they burn like scalps in the desert. Grape wrath, nocturnal bathing of a reckless unsheathed scabbard seeking dark purchase, imminent release and the spray of fire-bidden sons and daughters. Fracture the filament of treaties, yellowed contracts made crisp with complacent incandescence, and spy the rose-tint of ignorance. Were we only blind. Were the poisons only stronger to mute the world permanently. #wine #wineglass #light #closeup #cheers #toast #drink #pinotnoir #ruby #poem #poetry #writer #writing #literary_imagery1 #literary_original (at Salut)
