Wondering where the time all went -

Most mind boggling mysterious mortal

Mystification prevails stupefying yours truly
befuddled, he blindly stumbles along rocky

in pulling the stomach to the ground.

before you dive 
into the dark

In my sanctuary’s hush, Poe’s tales I clasp,
Into his world, I plunge, a breath, a rasp.

Sun shines its burning
