Bent

by Sam Flot 2013

I saw sandals traveling south

With Visigoth candles

Sensibly arranged and entertained

 Undeniably satisfied

By the common sense past tense

Seen before the night before the last one ended

Above scrutiny and ground

Under no pre-conceived deities

No ill-received frailties

Asked to be ascending or

Sent to falter relentlessly enhancing

Wreck-lessly dancing over chairs and tea tables

Meant more likely

To hold cucumber sandwiches

Not the feet of common transient sentients

Bent on transcendence

Through art and dance
