Analysis of Apparently (REPOST - FOR MY FRIENDS TO SEE)
The moon faced man resolved himself into a living dust,
( An old man, not effective anymore)
In fact revolving, but within insanity, yielding;
(His thoughts processes are failing fast)
Perusing feel on outside grained turning into lust,
(Remembering his younger, vibrant days)
Elder form persuades the young congealing.
(He becomes both himselves together)
Transcending on a fragile link tween earth and sanity,
(Trying to maintain some semblence of rationality)
Gravel engrained in two pitched lengths replies;
(The earth reaching out to him)
From outward side to inward form speaks only profanity,
(He fights with himself)
Upon straight length a tattered matter lies.
( The death toll for both of him)
