How far down do these tunnels go? For how much farther into shadow Can empathy extend? Wearing thin Will the hopeful be frayed And scattered in this dirt In this brooding black sludge and grime?

When I’ve lassoed a stranger’s affection In my season of clout Sound and secure in myself I will meet them Where the songs of triumph, trail out to the sea From quivering strings and ivory keys All, without a single word Never drifting, nor doubting For eternity, graciously awaits Veiled in white If you…
