Absence of Conception

By Roy D. Follendore III

Yes.

It is true; I was blind at birth, blind before this struggle

which forced thoughts toward comfort and warmth,

with all those internal notions and capacities

gaining the shelter of arms at any costs;

before my conceptual mechanics,

natural performances of biology,

induced without compunction,

regulated by pheromones,

and sweeping desire,

sexual vistas, auras,

lightened mist

as if it were we

we,

were,

deliberately

spun in circles,

until that distance

of the ends met mind

became incapacitated by

the atmosphere of refined destiny.
