"I am" the "tormentor"
of what you would call earth
bound to the sea,
and untouched by many
within this "glass prison"
where "neon rush" paints
over the land.
A "whimsy warp" of
"moon shells" coats the ground
like "ink blots" from missing
patches in the night sky.
"Silence" falls like stars
rushing to forgive "river memories"
along the shore in
"silver swells" under the sand.
The "forest stretch" behind
"the iron orchid" blooms
the lies we keep inside,
waiting for our "burial quest"
to freedom.
I will wait and cry,
the way we did "from the womb"
until the stars forget me,
where I will fall
into "eternal sleep".

I read this before but didn't comment. Whoops. I liked this, i've done a few of these myself, but I don't think I've had that many titles in one poem.
Well crafted, Kerri. Glad to call you my inspiration for all the creativity.
