The Resistors

Simplicity:
Poetry's complexity
entwined with ingenuity
as ink rolls fluidly
tempting the tongue idiomatically
until the mind churns rebelliously
to the world's pulsing vividity

Call out for retaliation!
the heart's degredation
murmurs incessantly for
a Muse's minstrel's minute striations
carving temptations
in the wandering hearts of tutelary saints

I go further in mind
--farther in body
Replaying the reconstruction of dreams
that you molded out of steam
I'll replay for you, too
Construct my own schemes
of recurring limitations

I broke them bare
while you seduced me into your
pristine lair.
I caught you: embrace our mutual impudence
over the palpitating distance --

And choose:
Simplicity for triviality--
against overt electricity between--
Simplicity to breathe in
Simplicity for the beginning
and complexity for the casting away.
