beating the little hater - jay smooth

torn netting

Groan men bloated with ache search out dust,
in efforts to avoid grito.
Grito controls all from inside groan men.
attempted efforts to pulverize ache into dust
will subject groan men to even more grito.

Grito houses ache in the howling caverns of groan men.
Groan men seized by internal entrapment,
bring dagger to sacrum, scalpel to third eye,
razor to voicebox - plunge deep to banish grito.

Grito is wily and ever present,
submerges self beyond layers of ache,
into spinal sluice,
circulates rapidly and teleports
through the fingertips into the waking lives
of all others surrounding groan men.

Groan men, portals to everlasting ache,
submit surrounding others into dust,
deliver unrepentant ache,
achieve nothing close to dust
nor the sound of water in a stream.

Grito transmitted via conduits of historical ache
located within the 1st groan man to walk the land.

The dust of those to come before
had blown swiftly into the line of sight
thus obfuscating all visions of grito release -
formulation of further dust piles.

Piles and piles of dust litter the landscape -
the grito howls cold inside the groan.
The groan man shreds the ache with piles of dust
applied to ever extending landscape -
piles of dust made from others ache -
the dust blows through torn netting -
the groan man is no longer visible -
the shape of ache wavers in the howl of the grito.

the dust slides slides slides down the shape of the mound,
former layers of ache receive bludgeoning caress,
the dust rendering grito amorphous.
The dust becomes the grito's sacrifical wish.
the ache longs for the dust release to nullify grito illiterate.
the grito, shapeless, wanders the winds;
howling dust submits groan men to the ache of the ages.
