Best Enormity Poems

In the ruins of yesteryears
a cave of harrowed woods
and it saves;
These tears dry and I bear;
The wind comes today
Gushing past the wild mountains
Have I not hold my heart
For why they rush to pierce?

as it impinges on this world 
of flesh and bone, air and water,

Addicts of all different...

the one true
luxury.

Yet darkness clings
