Ascertension

What, pray hell,
can pertain to the bell
that was carved out of 
stone in the forest?

Can a stone bell ring
with appropriate condescension?
Will our bones ascertain 
the level of ambient condensation?

Pray hard to hell,
and fire will be your diadem.
Let the shell cover the shell
and there will be concentric 

Visigoths, demoing a new 
empire for the webbing 
that sits between the north
and the west and the least. 

How many mouths are 
weeds? This is a question 
from con sirs. Negation 
blurs the judges into oblivion,

an obvious place to look for 
the morality of those who 
always seem to have had too much.
Touch a different screen

and you'll find it's just as mean
and just as full of contractions
as the actions that led us into 
our deranged ascertension.
