The Absolute Truth of the Martyr

GOD! Rest his soul...
His wretchedness,
His breathing beauty.
Standing against the tide,
Against the mediocrity.
Bells and bolts split the sky,
Fallen is our hero.
Not dead, not living, only a ghost.
A specter of electricity,
Roaming alleys and catacombs
Looking for beauty and telephones,
Philosopher kings without time.

So you ask angrily,
“Tell me, just what must I believe.
Teach me, what, exactly, must I feel?”
