shedding sorrow's grasp

 sequestered in a   
      somber sepulchre 
where I relinquish 
              dead memories
and iced nightmares
       upon resting ivy,
twisted 
    with rotting thistle
I'm no longer 
    able to breathe 
             pulverized pain
as I shed this
      stitched-on hollow skin
resuscitation under 
               Jupiter's moon
