My breath has eclipsed
Understanding and thought
Love collapsed
Time has become elliptical
Death transformed
Illusions of Happiness
Men-Straightening
Emotional disaster
Nearer the coffin of fate
Sanctified beliefs
Irrational homelessness
Only the depraved understand
Now and always
Across America and the world
Live Love and try to survive

Reading between life's lines
Each lesson beyond completion
Fractured impressions
Lingerie like death
Eradicating bereavement
Counting casualties
Taking root in the garden of the mind
Ingested political poison
Only where are the flowers
Night bloomers
Surly a black rose upon my breast

Feathers like angle wings
Rapture with eyes
Owls to mice
Mice to cats

Blood drips from the necks
Only fools shall agree
Taking back torment
Have we a care

So death just ends misery
Incepted deflection rejected
Death is just a trip back home
Each day away
Sadly I miss
