Removed.
Manny remote.
Pacts made. Pacts removed.
Pactless Manny remote
Passionate years—of our youth-ness
Frugal times—of our jejuneness
Michelangelo of the days and nights

Baroness to Manny remote
Unbreathable, excitable, unimaginable
Flesh founder, soul maker
Manny loveness,
Our sacrosanct two-ness
Blended beings

Inviolable union
Unbreakable imperturbable love
Curving glistening fleshly doings
Requisite of Manny remote
Effortless for Manny remote

Lost in unpainted paintings
And unwritten writings
Imagined colorful collisions
And lostness and one-ness
In love-ness and lasciviousness
Lost in Manny remote

New year, new day, new moment
Restless wantings, artful happenings
Discardable darling
Our dreams made pactless
New dawn for Manny remote.

Lionized newness
Lioness mistress!
Overpainted canvas of Manny removed.
To new corners, new beddings, to newness.
Breathable young painters of freshness
Emptied newness.

Lioness bestowed affectations
Uttered blessings to Baron of Praise
And carnal affections
Winner, Queen of Remoteness
Winner Newness
Winner of Manny removed.

Bursted pacts, ruptured graces
Night time grays, daytime umbers, momentary beiges,
Pallid broken paintings,
And daily unspeakable remembrances
All of Manny remote
Scrambled mercies
Of Manny remote
Remote. Removed.
Manny remote.
