A firework sulfur incandescence you desired in your life
That is why such solitary sadness, guilt-sense, the agony elegant

Like elaborate clouds you desired a skyful command in you youth
That is why such donor qualms, distaste, this vacuuous charm

In rivalling you desired a crafty clever creature as God
That is why this prejudice, shame, such blessed haemorrhage

In the core of heart you had a flaming carbon appetite
That is why such thirsty combustionk, nausea, this organic grudge

Beyond firework-cloud-god-carbon remained more calibrated you
towering, ahoy the man
That is why you exist yet in challenge, glory and chronicle
