Lobrium: Posea
Solitary/existential
Leering/artificial
Erudite/sacrificial
Expressions/partial
Proliferation/obligatory
Terrarium/serum
Redrum/lobrium
Aesop/dream
Partially/reality
Every line of existence
Is a trap of excellence.
Rilke knew the power of objects
Joyce knew insanity protects.
Project precepts quirks reject
Obliterate protege memories offset.
Lobrium persists in the fringes,
Deters the persistence of understanding.
It proves reality is the unreal,
And that madness attracts zealotry.
That is how understanding is birthed,
In the spaces between the fringes.
At the end of language games,
That made Wittgenstein a madman.

I really like this. Great words all.
“That is how understanding is birthed,
In the spaces between the fringes.”
Josey, what would happen if you started this poem with these terrific lines and built from there? would that be a fun exercise for the growth of this fine poet?
