" In the Interim "...

" In the Interim "

In the interim
remaining
somewhat visible

while rebuilding
the groundwork
of very different worlds

ranging from broken trees
to faulty wiring
being covertly homogenized

conjured by
transparent washes
of subconscious machos
and deleterious "no comments"

across self-referential
stretcher bars
like internal conflicts
left deliberately unresolved

as in conflicts
of watercolor versus gouache
for jarring avatars

having gone into shock
recovering post-op
from surgically accomplished
greatly altered open hearts...
