laboring manic backroads, oblivious to the dust,
that of which I cannot escape

seasonally unraveling

pointless

empty of accompaniment
celluloid offerings. . . blistering. . . lilting
in a ransom of smoke. . . smoldering into the blackest
nay, into that smokeless nothing

then, will I honor you
oh wingless & abandoned
possession
or will I dance, expressionless on the roof of sanity
where I can only chase a feeling
that solemn stymied ache. . .

ink-stained tears, mine
fall to the page
an offering. . . flooded words of forgiveness

as time, a gentle saviour
moves so slowly
crawls. . . so
