Once More

Whistle and scream,
There is no one to meet,
So release the steam.

But my weary feet forbid me from moving on,
While my even wearier heart beseeches me to stay,
By now I woefully assume that you ...

to lean towards the sea,

Staring with contempt at the face of their maker
Regretting being created completely inferior
To much better poems by writers much wearier
Silently screaming and burning ...
