Embedded there when times were down,
Beneath my eyes you...

As morning dawns upon the bight,
And illuminates the sea,
Awake, awake to dawns first light.

Clouding out all memory,
As light of day overcame the night.

Impossible it is to write
All that the mind...

my judgments blurred uncertainties with a whispered ‘allegedly’

spectacular vernacular, jailed - minus crime or credibility
