Going over Under and through, An exhaustion creeps, Nothing sparks in the mind And weeks trail by Around and around Few pass my way, Their joyous refrain “Never think. Just stride” I’ll stray from this loop For the rabid abyss; On the hunt for the spoils Of a stranger’s war

The lies of a lost refuge Still ring in my ears Its bittersweet chorus Maniacally spins Engulfed, by its coddling steam, My paths spiral down and scatter In its early dusk Through a canopy of vipers Coiled and seething In the high noon’s shadow That solitude’s lies Are crumbling apart And a new chorus burns…
