Solid Mist
by Sam M. Phillips

Granite block,
Reimagine,
Sponging,
Inseparable,
Pointed,
Subject matter obscure,
Stock response,
Numb,
Logical,
Rational,
Stunted.

Formulation,
Vast majority,
Conclusion,
Jack-knifed,
Vivid horror,
Prominent role,
Industrial,
Churned out,
Instrumental in effect,
Nations go to war.

Distinct impression,
Contingent in order,
Lively,
Unrevealing,
Angular,
No illusions.

Atmosphere,
Warning shot,
Social circles shift,
Dominate,
Shapeless,
Stealth,
No consistency,
Dissolved and replaced.

Terrifying ogre visage,
Odd personal experience,
Framed,
Matter settled,
Unsatisfactory,
Mundane,
No way out,
No solution.

Escape,
Machine claws grasp,
Disappointments and resentment,
Retrieve a lost hope,
Run to fields.

Mystic light,
Shines in head,
I exist above earth,
Beneath sky,
Bare soul,
Suggestive,
Unarmoured,
Permanently exposed.

Difficult to read,
Always present,
Shifting,
Rainbow mist,
Made of nothing,
Yet known.
