BIZARRE REGIONS


body mirrors violation
   nihilistic icon

body bans violation
into bizarre regions
to inhabit autonomy

violation not execrated
but secretly embraced
as cardinal icon of existence

violation a compulsion and a scorn
a compelled fusion
a necessary paradox

body feeds on violation
          banning and destroying

rejected violation burrows within
   the hostile is also a familiar

body creates boundaries
        between the familiar and the hostile

guards the two dominions

but poles corrupt
crack and
re-invent
