What remains below the surface,
hovers aloft within the soul,
articulates nothing in words,
tragically abides in disgrace,
remains hidden in the body,
eliminates the flood control
masking language in songs of birds,
abolishes chance with dice thrown
in the face of Now the bawdy
noblesse oblige of shamelessness
shuttered behind Catholic blinds,
below the surface, faithlessness
entertains the troops, drunken minds
lascivious, lecherous, known
only as libido and lust,
wanton mistress of cool fire blue,
tormented by twisted laughter,
how restricted by disgust,
entrapped by self-loathing, severe
spartan discipline, as bamboo
under fingernails, each rafter
resounds with pain, the reclusive
frontier border sought by austere,
ascetics to mortify flesh,
counter to reason, to refresh,
exact results inconclusive.
