[Ir]reverence

How many things

I have seen before
so words heard were
uncertainly 
expected
unencumbered on a memory
expecting exception
for the 
now, new, few?

Exceptional tall tales
fallow until the backward 
words prevail
until entrails of
surprising suspends
what I've forgotten
and where I suspect
that the deities have fallen fealty 

I died today 
so that tomorrow 
might've heard me

Weight! that's another 
lover loving their
unrealized future
unforgiven then
once again remembered
extremities
double plus ungood
and should is the worst word

skewed is the most truest
unacceptable
forgiving thin
explanations 
and fears' extrapolations 
aghast'd whims
and
sudden realizations 

Said that you
NO
different knowing
for ever
lasting spent
portmanteaus 
could have been
something else

entirely
