Guilt

Absent oxygen, 
survival hinged on fire.
Launched anchor,
sunken ship of desire. 
Mind's weapon 
waging war 
with free soul.
Blind volunteer
leads on,
midnight patrol. 
Too little, 
too late, 
too much,
just wait. 
That's wrong, 
that's weird,
you can't, 
more fear. 
Creeping frost,
on sunless arboretum. 
Thus guilt, 
contrasted freedom.
