<h2>anomalous mentation</h2>
from a shattered nexus
streams the sun-cracked waves
de-encrypting sanities
and colouring them with the impossible.

over the stark edges 
pours hope—
purgatorial cascades
seeping down through cracks.

rivers of living capacity,
fuel
or extinguishers of turmoil.
flexibility the zealot's bane
bring wands of poplar,
bless the hazy revolution
swirling in petrochemical angst
over heads under foot falling greenery.

chlorophyllic solvents,
discontent until
disillusioned factories of bliss dissolve
into oblivion.
natural or force her hand sweet earth
bow down and suffer,
or stand at risk of greatness
rising forth.

dreams 
from a split psyche
sloughing off snakeskin,

re-encrypted destinies
that resonate 
in a swaggering rhythm.

limit-spent minstrels sing to my children
of what is lovely—
and what is cursed
in the mind of men.

a good combination of verse that mixes the natural with the chemical ... hehehe, it never occurred to me to do poetry that to name fuel sounds very good.

I don't know what kind of mental state you are in @d-pend,

But I like this poem a lot.
These contain highly spiritual terms tied with physical and abstract descriptions.

For example:

> **purgatorial** cascades

> flexibility the **zealot's bane**

> **bless** the **hazy revolution**

> disillusioned factories of **bliss** dissolve

> **bow down** and suffer,
or stand at risk of **greatness**
rising forth.

> **dreams**
from a **split psyche**
sloughing off snakeskin,

The end of the poem is musical and makes me laugh and cry:

> re-encrypted destinies
that resonate
in a swaggering rhythm.

> limit-spent minstrels sing to my children
of what is lovely—
and what is cursed
in the mind of men.

Now I am left in complete obscurity. Thanks once again for making my Sunday afternoon. Please continue to screw with my brain and as long as you are at it take a huge existential cannon to my head. Greatly appreciated,

@mineopoly

> They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

Hola,debo decir que me encanto mucho su poema.
Mi parte favorita es cuando dice: sueños

My two cents:
@d-pend's poems are all good, what I really like his poems are the images that put in every sentence, the hardest part is the images, symbols sometimes are overlapping or I'm lost in cold space because I really don't know the background of the poem, that's one. Two, his poem is like metallic poem, space, metaphysical, hard rock music,  imbued with the superficial problem of the society, men, in particular, and also infused with methaporical exaggeration to keep us awake that will make us feel how the poem is flowing inside our hypothalamus that eventually thought process it until our brains cooked up or pass/guess its reality with flying colors because his poems are the sample and the epitome of its existence in the modern society!

@d-pend,

>de-encrypting sanities

Hard to feel sorry for you, bro ... given the lengths to which you go to encrypt them in the first place. 

>flexibility the zealot's bane

That's good. Simple but insightful. Zealots, of one kind or another, create a lot of problems for which everyone else has to pay.

>natural or **force her hand sweet earth**
bow down and suffer,
or stand at risk of greatness
rising forth.

How could Mother Earth rise forth? A couple of simultaneously erupting super-volcanoes, I suppose. I guess we'd deserve it.

>limit-spent minstrels sing to my children
of what is lovely—
and what is cursed
in the mind of men.

The propaganda we design to deceive ourselves ... did I mention I'm in advertising? :-)

As usual, mind-contortionating *(if that's not a word ... **_you've_** got nothing to say)* but thought-provoking ... if one takes the time to d-crypt d-pend.

*If this poem was actually about how to change a tire on a 2003 KIA Sedona, I'm going to feel like an ass.*

*Quill*
