Phantoms from across the hall Tunnel into my veins These invaders reside behind my eyes Spinning fright ~ I can never outrun Their fearsome plague in my pulse The more I sprint The more I course With past calamities and ghosts ~ Hushed and haunted words Rise from me When I grow, bitter cold and…

Falling in the surging brine Dragged down into the caverns By the swift drain of time ~ Life’s anthems roll forward And onto the horizon Its melodies muffled In the cyclone below ~ A few words crash through In a reckless dive Falling from lost vessels Charging for their own abyss ~ A few notes…

Planted at the end of a journey Reborn in new shades On uncharted ground ~ Where the salt breeze has swept me To be mended in the soil Where my free roots may tunnel Into the earth’s scalding heart ~ The crimes of days past Are all food for the vines Growing over the towers…
