Winter Pantomime

                                        ( Boiled-over affection lies in pools of drunken inertia;
                                          vaguely recalling a lack of awareness on my part.)
                                       
                                          Tuesday afternoons of malevolent December. Flickering holiday traffic heading northbound tonight across the wide polluted interstate. Neighborhood space-heaters; a second-story library staircase perimeter.
                                          A city's hearth is on fire; radiantly illumined beneath propped village streetlamps; adorned in frail crimson moonlight and pedestrian sidewalk machinery. Assorted window silhouette-trees; ornamented landscapes tied ribbon red bows of azure. Mural collages overshadow columned sedimentary wallpaper canvases toward placid evening. Infernal daytime structures of prohibited parking-lots in bedridden autumn. Windswept dormitories piled in downtown factory high-rises; refract and reflect pale morbid souls of yesterday's transmigration.
                                         Her incarnadine complexion is tepid and coffee-like; fatigued and neurotic in microcosmic intervals.( Let us make our 5:00p.m. visit to an routine clergyman. Man of pillared cornerstone and tiresome eulogies amid infertile seasons of incest.)
                                         Lovers permit morning comfort to one another; tranquilly nourishing themselves in temporal awakening. Frail and bruised limbs penetrate corporeal bloodstreams; dangling downward toward tiled porcelain floorboards. She stood erect before an heirloom bedroom mirror; mortal antiquities past down from futile generations of self-abhorred folly.
                                        These insidious months grow gloomily and monotonous; analogous; juxtaposed in withered ideals and inherited maelstrom; depraving the spirit's source with unnecessary genealogy. Fervently sucking the inkling's blood that seethes between condominium trees; nocturnally varnished in seasonal disparagement; a motorized refrigerator labors in artificial climates aside pantomime pine-trees in deadened winter.
                                      An apartment radiator combusted between domesticated livelihoods; wine-glass apparel in vacant one-bedroom efficiencies; front-door stoops remain immobile through cedar tree bough disposals. Rural cemetery outskirt blueprints; engraved monuments pillared idly beside a darkened riverside embankment, dank and immersed in embedded aisles of flowerbed burial soil plots.
