Veil Breaking

That fear would not be the motivating factor for my faith
in this slow process of being erased
to chase the alpha,
that original state.

bringing your body brightly to break entrapment
with enchantment,
stripped of this straitjacket
and all its paralytic habits.

in the attempt to repent,
becoming the bullet spent,
Yeats mentioned everything whole
must first be rent.

thus the rhymer resides in the rhyme,
just as rhizomes root for trees to climb,
these angels in the words and
in between the lines.
