Ragdoll nights
Wring out the fervor
Of my slaving heart

Through the many eves
I drain away
Destined to unthread
To part ways with clarity

I plunge headfirst
Into a cold black refuge
Emerging disheveled
In the smoldering clutter of day

Nightfall lurches
Away from my maddening treads
Instilled with primal fear
In flight
Of my certain decay
