Merely passing
Letting passions unfold
All the romance
And the fast-flare of being

Untouched yet weary
In the weight of spent verse
I coast undeterred
In the bold name of fright

From the ancestral night
To a murdering
And fretful eclipse
I stroll on
In the haze of myself

As the light of our lives
So hatefully slips by
Sent withering and wailing
Ever-hopeful
To be heartlessly grazed
