[ i ] AM [ hévvee ]
Whisk the foam off the top of this dismal dusk,
Oh shaky hand with its sloppy cask and cuff.
Keenly rest your feeble toes and decrepit feet,
Write your empty poetry of the same failed deeds.
You drift deep into the fog, a mindless measureless place;
A gloomy, foolish, cumbersome daze.
The cup fills with the same bleak thoughts,
Both eyes and each “t” crossed.
Ripe with deceit, you pour out an elegant ruse,
One not readily refused.
All sustenance lost, now lacking in faith,
Once more off your lips ring an elusive thanks.
Chitin dispelled, the pages blacken,
word by word, thoughts unhinged and then flattened.
The ill inhabitants of your mind poured out line by line,
Sickened with care, a merit so hard to find.
