\begin{quote}
The cessation of praying daily, of praying up against dry trees,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
the cessation of asking and answering, pondering no more, no
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
more will, no take, not bound, instead only undone down to
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
laces; shoes upon dogs still for haste may remain yet to be made.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Not for gesticulation but emergence. Not for the writings but
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
the intent behind. Behold the cessation of fire and firings; braced
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
for the onset of ages created under metal, men, and distressed
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
moisture; ceasing, ceaseless and ungodly cruel.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Nothing genteel dispatched by the sun and moon, by the hells
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
of shame and the shakes of paradise. No tether holds power over
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
the litany of errors each soul commits while upon this rock
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
spinning. The most simplistic reckless desires of flesh and bone
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
and seed whims sprayed against sad walls, dry trees and bed
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
sheets, car seats and meat upon meat upon meat. Cessation:
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
this line never happens, this line ceases to be, never was, by
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
the powers of free will or thy will or William Butler Yeats.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Cessation of life, of fear, for mistakes that accrue as miniscule
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
immaculate probabilities: in the name of mercy and sunburn,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
in the name of the compassion fraternity, blistered peanuts,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
pregnant beasts, in name only, names of the lost, in the name
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
of mountains reduced by the breath of the wind ages ago.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
Fabrication of femininity; where your composition is altered
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
girls while those lipsticks, bobby pins, and sanitary napkins
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
remain sound though you’ve yet spoon with impassive ground.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
.
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
New girls pushed from one dark warm cradle and buried quickly
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
cold, rejected in another. For a few moments of beautiful life
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
lists were made: of sky colors and soil taste, forms, of cloth feel,
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
of light and darkness and a promise of globed fruit swooning on
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
vines close by. The list grew long in the swirl of planets and
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
condensed, crashed, redacted just as soon. And finally then these
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
bodies, eliminated, crossed off until unholy soil, a taupe simple
\end{quote}
\begin{quote}
compact, and the sins of men remained.
\end{quote}
