Eve of Leave

Eve of leave;
Consecrated over a screen;
desecrated disposition; disillusioned nihilist,
Flawed egoist, tremendous tendencies,
Paralyzing pariah, failing fugue,
"Buckle up for phase two":
Coagulated cracked clay, gray in gaeity,
Green-gold in past perception—
Corrected cadaver, sea-less stoned sailor
Wineless wino; wandering wondering—
Slow, woeful tones;
death in order to grow
Delirious; what is gained wisdom,
without the insane to show for it?
