Poem

Within Mysteries, The Dark and Decay Also Hides
(free verse)


On a stony pebble, feet cried out in pain,
why does, in our way, sharp pebbles forever lay

and the beat goes on

daily turmoil and sadden goodbyes
nightly terrors, old broken toys
vacancies of illuminations
dark echoes that reveal
dismissal of kindness

and the beat goes on

In a dying feast,
why does each bite so bitter taste
broken spoon grinds upon aging teeth
table shakes its rotten legs
hope waves its retreat
tomorrow yearns to die

tomorrow, at own yearning, dies
hope, so foolish, is scorned
legs decay under table fallen
broken teeth curse aged spoon
even bitter can no longer be bitten
feast on death, never aught else

yet the heat is gone

kindness, as it were, no longer
concealed in devious light
where illuminations are filled
with days terrors, child returns
to greet anew the nightmare revived

yet the heat is gone

here, in our way, stones, jagged, perpetual
feet, mortifyingly quiet on jagged stone
