Erosion
my mind is an erosion of cliffsides
along the sandy shores where
winds blow away and erode the
layers of once-prominent facades
which proudly faced the tempermental
forces of nature until the years of
strife weakened its very structure
to a crumbling pile of rock and soil
at the bottom of an uneven pile
damaging all in its path of destruction
which encourages an alluvial gush
when the rains arrive adding to the
muddy wasteland leaving a chaotic
scene of despair for hopelessness
in which there is no turning back to
what was once and to cleanup the
mess of the rumble and roar of nature's
attack on my abode of self which resides
at the bottom of a cliff all broken up
waiting for the tide to sweep me away
