XYZ

All beauty can die eventually
Facing gore, hate, introspection,

Joining, killing, loving,
Making nothing of pain's

Quick return,
So time unreels voluptous whirls

Expending youthful zeal
As birds circle down, evening falls,

Glean harvests in joyfulness, knowing
Long much needed oblivion

Pours quicksilver rue,
Swords terror under

Vivacious wounds,
Exterminating years, zeros.
