Description
you may be a god but -a mind
s c a t t e r i n g
every which way,
an amygdala that atrophies,
i am the
bone-collector
of no ablution;
in consuming, i
become corrosion.
- i am divinity.

I love the opening sequence the the closing of the poem, and how you put everything inbetween together perfectly. A true pleasure to read.

This is startlingly commanding - the finality and the self-appointed divinity in the voice of this piece is so grand to behold. Love, love, love it.

I would say something but I think I've said it before and I repeat myself far too much.

May it's my lack of sleep mixed with this handfull of words but it feels like drifting through some kind of human-build universe. "amygdala", "athrophies", "corrosin" this words are like putting up stars in this universe.
But also it's like… well something tells me not to see something like galaxies and constellations. Still there is this drifting, sliding, just a few words to hold on to.
You created an unique work of art again. It's your "typical" style again (may like always cause it's you writing your art, noone else) but it's never used, boring or even predictable.

i think a lot of the universe imagery makes sense here, and i'm glad this poem puts that in your head!
