Bishoujo Poem by Marcus McKinley

read the poem. then read the capitalized words for the final line.





approaching,
IN anticipation

graceful articulation

FOOTSTEPS,
pulsating aorta legato
every strike of the Taiko

RESONATING,
vibrating,
into and THROUGH
your fleshy, EARTHLY domicile

to the core of LIFE's being

focusing lenses to THE tapetum nigrum
encompassing the whole of the SUM

visions OF you endless, at retinal ends
beyond TIME and space
where the unknown extends

shaking the MINISCULE masses of mental matter
you are the Kagura on which life depends
