Decantered
Spilling of wounds
Pained
Frothing at the mouth
Devoid of mirth
… bereft of kin
… estranged from truth
Where to begin...?
Spinning between the immensities of
Heaven and earth
Until out of breath
The very vastness
The very depth and breadth
Bends the knee
Believing in ....
... uncertainty
Believe in birth
Believe in death
In the in-between-ness
Of humanity
The haw and the gee of
Self-centeredness
A self-mentored mess
Strained and filled with doubt
Turned insideout
Circumspection a funneling spout
... of profanities
Deranged … uncouth
Raging against aging
Paying taxes
...searching for lost youth
Until the twilight gloaming
Of endless night
... the putting to sleep of the visceral
The inevitable giving up of
The fight
