Patterns

Silence

Earned love

Given love

For what concept
might a system
open its jaws?

Question: quest request
it's a signpost that says:
come along and you will
probably be killed, but
you will definitely
die.

Is that adventure or a
venture?

Whose risk is to be
stomached?

When will the whirl
become past tense?

That's the world question.
The adventure of meant mentor
but rather enmity.
It's an emotional bias,
a sunk ship,
costly enough
to become an economical
organ, deeper than a baritone,
more trumpeted than taps,
a sort of roman honor,
lower case, eponymous,
and not in any way
imperial.
