Literature Text

And it is thus that the martyrs are collected
Two-thirds up a tower-block,
An inside flat with no view of the sun
There is a child who has never had recourse to walk.

One more week.

For joy to turn to turn
Inside out
A smiled face; the Paradox.

Those who will be noted first
Have had the joy ripped from their centre.

So let us be the first to put our names and natures upon the list
To mark the deathdate as today.

And a host of nameless souls shall find themselves
Collecting people.
To resynthesise.
And log in the book;
The Synaxarium.

to turn to turn
Inside out
A smiled face; the Paradox.

Tho I'm sure this isn't the way it's read to you, that's how I read it because of your guidance.
