Her eyes had no sparkle

She walked unaware of the magnetism
Of her form

She was praying for a blessing.

now that you’ve been washed out
into fate’s unforgiving seas

Like time spent in sensory deprivation
Time spent in a droning room
Under sterile light hums, practically drooling

Punctuated by things so washed out,...
