His eyes are dark, but, there's still a spark. 
There are canyons in his face.
His lungs are gone and it won't be long,

In the dog days of summer, with the hot sun overhead.

Premium Member Curiously Ecological Egos
Ego systems are felt integrity
some ecstatic times
and self-conscious mendacity
other significant times,

Restorative and yet unfortunately retributive games
with WinWin or WinLose, or even terrifying LoseLose dominant trends
in self-with-Other inflicted identity.

As eco-systems are imaged healthy
and sadly pathological,
restoring healthy...

In the twilight of my melancholy existence, love savors its bravery, like a vulture allergic to the suspicious aspects of ephemeral glamour, in a final macabre choreography.

Transitions and Contrasts: Just like the Seasons

The Candle of the Sky, now a supernova
Chirping birds cry out for drops of draught,
The strays of streets too, dying or suffering.

What are your most winterish
critical trauma events
in these most recent
three millennia?

Why 
just my traumas?
Why not their corresponsive

Please go on

questioning my questions
seemingly without end,
like an arctic wind-blown 
starless night
in eternally restless January.

First comes Spring, with daisies and Easter eggs, 
And little girls running around wearing their Sunday best.
