It’s never enough

And I fear this fragile body

This façade of glass

In these hailstorm days

–

I fear never knowing

Never finding the remedy

For the fissures in my mind

The inner universe of doubt

–

I haven’t had my share

Of aimless crusades

Only treks through the bog

Ever deepening in the conscience

–

I’m in fear of life’s movements

 Its reverberating pain

 Long after the moments

Of infamy and shame
