The Skull of the Night

The night comes down heavily upon the skull
In every fancies of wired images:
Lady Macbeth's dagger or Old Hamlet's ghost;
Or in my own term - ripped off from the organic herbs.

Yes, it came to be, a being 
With conviction and character 
Of a hullabaloo, buried in silence.

I fear the gesture, unwelcome, 
And the pathos of lost self,
Tearing down the heart tonight
In benign pathos.

Havoc wrecking in my bio-chemistry,
Diluted in the solution,
As my corp cooling in the formalin-wall.
