Perseverance
Within the long days of night I ran
seeking always to hide from the seer
for only by my motion, could my spree
like the unbridled wants of a negligent child be seen.
Crying out to the throngs of sinners who sever
the umbilicus of light which veers
from the godhead, my soul sap
suckled from this cape
this husk, this endless span
of time..I pan
pan for the golden sepulcher
peering through the pane
of church windows never
quite alive ..an
orphan on a skewer
I prance knowing only through
healing pain can
I persevere.
