where no light penetrates

     where no light penetrates 
       the musty chamber of an existence
     gazing, otiose, in contemplation
 
     of erogenous zones 
       of paralysis and moans
     of the evaporation of bones… 

     the spider and its cobwebs beckon
       dust stirring like breath
         tick-tock of tears
