Imperfect Horatio

spiral darker
   deeper down
 ever starker
   viral rounds

sing out somber, to the seas
 of tears of floods, uprooted trees,
   the flotsam the jetsam
 the waste and ennui
        barred walls of this cyclonic me
     this caged vortex of the sea
        this maelstrom of my
                                  infinity
  for Bacchus loved Neptune
and they both hate me
