phrenology

placed in cosmic affairs --
bled antiquated.

an unwilling 
to coalesce with normalcy.
shrouded in pretension - consumed -
my feet pure in the virgin snow.
i kiss the snow, left blue, 
hurt by the vision of a doe.

the bitterest pill
 to swallow;
flashbacks of throwing birthday parties for my pets
.

wistfulness grass cuttings scream ‘world on your shoulders’
(please hurt me cliché, please hurt me).

sweated mosaic posed in
 metallic -
you poised rhetoric.

mountain faced and machine operated,
i am studying 
phrenology.
