'sickness unto death'
what he believed
he knew
what he knew
was true,
this for him
pristine
a church bell
in a light snow
layering metaphysicsonce replete
the contagious
pact with reality
reworked,
the truth poser
rang
pealed
the sanctity
of doubt
with an immoral
aroma
of almost rain
sat him down
to one riddle
at a time.
