Verses Deboned
While listening to everyone but myself,
failing to take my own advice
I married the widow of dark consensus,
betrothed to darkness—divorced of light
I followed her blindly into the cave,
where the leopard of ignorance roamed
And watched as the demon devoured my words,
unholy banquet—all verses deboned
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)
