Francis Raven
Weeping Mineral Sonnet
 

Wrapping retention's stone lifted from the grave;
Boldest caffeine moment meant to fix the jump,
Mighty smoothness a philosopher might save.
To stand in capacity, poetic pump.

What if the word as hinge closes on the man?
Sweat, advantage, you've worn off the doctored fuel.
Not until last can fragile culture span.
Hunger flares, drilling for the absolute tool.

All ears bent inward to escape this tunnel.
Bubbles lift through initials scraped in concrete.
Ice extends the message of a washed up shell.
Smokestacks pollute, gripping borrowed wedding sheet.

From the rule of law: unwavering taut noose.
Judges burn bog in the middle of its use
