Deceitful Reprieval
Living within this derelict cathedral
beneath its dilapidated steeple,
rain water seeping in
through the front door's peephole;
looking out onto streets
and seeing a flooding sea full
of weeping people
with all their uneven nerves in upheaval,
in seizure by pinprick
droplet needles
bleeding puddles
of unspeakable and seething evils.
My rooftop leaking
and wood beams
stood weaker and feeble;
silence's sermon and sole believer,
echoes breeding a suffering so cerebral,
and never for one moment leaving me peaceful.
