discontain

burgeoning faith
belief is strong, circumstance unseen
can equations contain

bizarre awakening
underwhelming renewal, holiness obscene
money won’t retain

discount encounter
repelling presence, fearful attraction
cockatrice disdain

colorful overcast
uncharted discourse, unwilling retraction
nothing will remain

sentence unappended
conviction eviction, knowable dark depths
abundantly obtain

  1. Alright MattWricks,

    I tried too hard to make something of this, and I think that is my problem. I just have to appreciate your adjective-noun coupling and take it in that way. What hits me is a gum-packet of mini-paradoxes. It kicks in for me at “bizarre awakening underwhelming renewal, holiness obscene” which, I think, is a three-pack of brilliant dissonators. You would think that when you awake, you are free from the nightmare, or that when you dive into repentence, you would be free from attachment, or that when you are declared pure, no one would turn their head in disgust–but maybe not. . .
