Analysis of Rest on Blade



Rest On Blade
Rest embedded
Dream to wake
Act of mad and
Thought to make,

Pure Image-
Ry in dirt:
Tales of magic
Screams of burst!..

Resting worldly,
Spirit forms
Universes, blea-
Ming thorns.

Its projections,
Born in death,
Are sending changes
New to rest…

Ribbons cut in
Every jiff,
Open buttons
To mischief:

Their pushing –
Destined Fate –
Rests her touch on
Perfect blade!..
