HER
...In the midst of a wet night,
Discovered myself upon a viaduct.
Straggled or vagrant, uncertain.

...within a pock, a lonely copse
a one-time proudly standing duke
lay collapsed a pearly corpse
strewn, now stretched across a dyke

with white caps brazen under dark gray skies
and baptized in the waters I was purged
as “scales of blindness” dropped from off my eyes.

Dying like a withering dream yet almost deathless
Ruffled by an impasse of a senescent, uncrossable viaduct
