sin/cerely

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
I am lagging slightly in my responses to comments on my poems due to a crazy schedule. I will be catching up on them soon. I have read them all and will find the time to respond, but did not want you to think I was ghosting. In the meantime, and always:

Read, Write, Rise, Realize.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
what’s the severity
of sin in certainty,
where sin cerebrally
becomes sincere?
 
should we then fear
that which is sincere?
 
or is the sinful win
that we turn
 
sincere
 
into an awful sin?

    Lovely word play in the deconstruction of words and the reassembly of meaning. Well done my friend

    When lust has conceived, it brings forth sin:

  • Thomas W Case

    You’re turning language over like a stone in the mouth—testing where meaning starts to cut.
    There’s a sharp elegance in it: how certainty itself can become the place where sin and sincerity blur into each other.

    Now sin-cere - and look 'ere, it's we know who. And 'Hear here' - a glug forms, but not out of nowhere! Consult WCAT that never gives answers. lol.

  • orchidee

    Ooh, I dunno - I'm standing on me head now, trying to unravel the sinceritiness of it all - and is that even a word?! lol. Spellchecker says no! lol.

  • Paul Bell

    I myself is always sincere in my sinning ways.
    Well, at least till I get caught, then I plead insanity and blame others.
