A really twisted poem that would not leave me alone, all day the perfect words bugged me.

-Armature-
by Keaton Foster
*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Nuts
Bolts
Ends
Beginnings
In between
All that is known
Understood
Built upon itself
Armature
Designed
Constructed
Fruition
Then
Aptly dissected
Again
To be resurrected
More than a few times
God above
Darkness below
Each
Have an equal role
Humans
Always in the middle
Just an example
There are others
Ones we don’t see
Ones we could never
Not ever believe
Bigger and bigger
Bursting at the seams
Wreckage to be increased
All of it will all fail
All of it will come down
Upon itself
It just cannot stand
A burden not to be undone
We will never get it right
Us humans
Are meant to be doomed
Life is a consequential action
Propagation will endure us
But at some point the load
The immense weight
Upon our sub structure
Will cause a complete collapse
Armature
The frame work of our kind
The outline of our time
Upon the spine all is built
Thus all is to be carried
Nuts
Bolts
Ends
Beginnings
In between
All that is known
Understood
Built upon itself
Armature
A not so perfect
Sub structure
Beautifully flawed
Upon itself it will fall
Downward
Raised to ruin
Only to rise again
The end in this place
Means absolutely nothing
With regard to the finality
Of our collective species…
