Internal Decay

golden seal
     a heavy hand
          small brides
               ink stains the soul 
                    rust c  r  e  e  p  s through the joints
                         honor dies
                              slow leak

foul water,
     d
     e
     e
     p mud,
          cold promise; 
               p   r   o   m   i   s   e   s
                    built on hollow ground.
                         the tower starts to lean...
                              c r a c k; 

dust is all that stays.
