conspired within an 88 unit residential castle
in their historically converted
sometimes hysterically clueless condo
colonial-red predative brick
badly bald aging building
With a sometimes soggy south walled school,
but...

The Tower RebuiltI shall resolve to leave this
Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in

Exit StrategyTo prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled
echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale
silent sacred pause
for Earth's final soliloquy
Terminating all humane

healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy
Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven
Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof
Future obligations
and past assets
Resigning...
