Low Levels Of

Against a backdrop of despair
soothing sounds eliminate a steady
drip drip drip, water eroding thoughts
no man’s land we call it partner
bodies in the ground, rotting away
mounds of burial chambers 
holding secrets waiting to be told
Denial or curiosity, same coin
a new year for human kind, 
man kind, woman kind, all kinds
bridges built fail to serve
transmogrified wisdom symbols
clever hotel emblems
I scream with sleep, wake me up
falling into the pit of unconscious desire.
