Poison (Day 1238)

apathy resolves 

into waste 

rotting like dreams

in the midday sun 


why should it 

take violent storms 

or the deviant 

appetites of pale men 


when he 

who shall not be obeyed 

clearly longs 

to remand us into custody 

of perpetual winter 


locked in forgotten cages

to atone 

for our sins   perhaps a death 

or two 

perhaps thousands 

 

beginning at the end  

blind 

to the gold 

they hide behind 

we choose each other


hearts ocean wide

because even a sip

of despair 

is bitter poison   and we

have drained the bottle
