Time reconstructs strange sentinels of thought 
from shifting colors of skeleton keys 
though hope erases emptiness of truth 
to highlight crazy concepts that remain 
illuminated bright by dreamless words 
that clutter pages of communal code. 

Death reconstructs fraught boundaries of fear 
caught by attention of impulsive minds 
who reckon second coming of the rain 
that still deregulates how we behave 
yet we arrest our progress on the brink 
of falling in abyss of everything. 

Hope reconstructs odd city of regret 
where calm mysterious girl of honest faith 
sparks revolution against tyranny 
that fractures shadow of democracy 
with frantic spectacle of puerile fights 
imploding from disturbed inequity. 

Love reconstructs new paradigm of truth 
to build sustainable rituals of life 
through subtle challenge of the humble soul 
who dares oppose traitorous greed of wealth 
with willful waltz in Wonderland of Weird 
to maintain national security. 

Faith reconstructs republic of concern 
through flash of extraordinary light 
that beams from eyes of angels in blue jeans 
who block abductions of innocent souls 
before their shadows are locked in steel words 
that shatter fearful walls of paradise. 

Space reconstructs frail firmament of lust 
through vast rotation of the gyroscope 
that spirals wide on glass demonic wings 
to prove that orbed organic lives of gods 
still matter to our mortal hearts that ache 
with hunger for transcendent dream of love. 

Myth reconstructs misinformation math 
to measure endless sea of social rage 
stirred wild by storms of autocratic lies 
which try to penetrate mask of respect 
though mesmerized by beauty of weird truth 
that shocks awake our consciousness of death. 

Truth reconstructs tremendous trial of time 
contained by subtle voice of ancient fact 
which formulates expressive code of care 
encased in doctrine misaligned by fear 
when fragments of our horror dissipate 
till I make puzzle of my new world view.
