Lay It To Sleep

Solo-standing
                    brazen star
at
    the break
of illustrious
dawn.

Lucrative nights
pass
        over
in dust bowl haze.

Senses combusted
back to the
ooze
       of
birth.

Lay to rest
                the atrocities
of monotonous
                      livelihood.

The wait, the waiting
wait, wait, boredom
Waiting for life and death
Pressure, allegiance
disintegrated  
                   through
manual
stimulation.
