Stilted unnatural language. Unengaging characters.

Dispossess me of belief:
between life and me obtrude
no symbolic forms:
grant me no mission: let my
mystical talents be beasts
in dark trees: thin the wire
I limp in space, melt it
with quick heat, let me walk
or fall alone: fail
me in all comforts:
hide renown behind the tomb:
withdraw beyond all reach of faith:
leave me this black rich country,
uncertainty, labor, fear: do not
steal the rewards of my mortalit
