Despair
August 13, 2021
Bones break, lips curse
As I ride by in a hearse
Ice cracks, lives fall
When I toss the fatal ball
Hope heaves, Earth quakes
Seismic heart caves in and breaks
Walls crash, roads slide
When I mute the ebb of tide
Sick scream, blood pours
From the river, through the doors
Slick words slip out
When I shift the foundling’s route
My fear of pain
Gliding to my brain again
Heartache swims back
As I’m treading Life’s last track
