The Great Delaware

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
HALT!
 
speed meet stop!
hard exclamation.
whiplash.
 
concussive conclusion.
 
it’s all me,
they say.
 
all
 
my fault
 
say they,
who populate
and pray
 
that
their deeds
be seen great,
while their morals
are thrown away.
 
STALL!
 
till all y’all
can gather
and scrub up
unholy lather,
 
from blubber
and a caustic lie,
eats a hole in one
called truth.
 
BLAST OFF!
 
stop switches speed,
intentionally
 
g-force phenomenon
meets the necronomicon.
the givers of life
forget the sacred word,
 
cutting the head off
of the sacred bird,
blood drips
    d
    o
    w
    n
    ward—pools—
gathers in the birdbath,
while simultaneously seeping
down the plastered lath.
 
god’s tears
won’t be quenched—
 
flood, baby, flood—
 
until justice rolls down like
the great Delaware River.
