ruins of soul

In the reckoning of moments between thoughts
Born in the space of actions
Reactions to the stimulation
Expressions, expectations...

Ruined things, broken lie, belittled
A cry sold in old homes
Scattered around after a war's wrath.

Hear the rage far and away drone
I walk in the ruins of soul alone
I feel forgotten on foreign soil.

The drifting of imagery 
Pressing the fragments...

Shards hard into skin
Forsaken forbearing in fringes 
A soul not tethered to this realm or reality...

Walking the footfall of a secondary soul
Wreckage of my divinity...
