To be pried away From this rotting matter These ailing contours I am cursed to inhabit And to peer outward Stripped of all dismay Shall surely salvage My havoc laden conscience Into the greater opus The bustling span of wilderness I shall be replenished Reaping, the earth’s timeless fables

The scenic view Has diminished once again Undone by a passing flicker And the final gusts In close pursuit Cradled in desolation I am doomed to conspire To conceive tomorrow’s plains Of vibrant green And meandering veins of blue Shall it come to pass In these infertile moments Shall its roots sprawl in defiance And…

Beneath snow-capped ranges Upturned and forgotten By daybreak we meet With the same desolate glare I stir unfulfilled As a waning sliver of youth A disheveled wanderer Marooned, to the contours of home Where voices rage Like iron-clad beasts Trading the horrors That fester violently within Words arch hatefully As I wade for hopeful shores…
