The Screaming Souls of a Soundless Forest
I romanticize the single room without a jurisdiction
If only I could filter through a voice of logic over reaction
Would it impel my inner child to regress into an illusion?
My mind composes a structure but...

A Lantern Made of Suicide Notes: Suicide by Metaphors

it kept writing me.

keeping birds in planted aviaries from the day I was a lad.
Caging prolific zebra finches to the pretty Whydah bird.

US Verse, after Auden

Mortal, guilty, but to me

Her death flowed in a messaged bottle
Gazing into her brown eyes upon all open sores,
Her conscience dark and gray a never-ending war!

Yesterday celebrates your uniqueness
Before acculturation...
