high on the brink
with no turning back
as the tidal waters instil
the shudder of winters
short cold breath
haunted and hurting
feeling all of those stiff-joints
until the moon begins
to appear
in this
deviant universe
listen, to your anguish
as memory is swallowed
by the darkness within your tongue
each syllable muted
drained of all images
as time conspires to devour you
hush, in silence
in that moment of flimsy truth
here stripped of clothes
naked to the world
how were you able to come here
to this point of no return
unlearn the instruction
that the teachers taught
in as much as history will forget your name
as tears fall from your extinct eyes
here the agenda breeds the end
as pealing bells toll the hour of death
Love it!
I truly adore this.
I read this a few times, as a matter of fact.
Your work is beautiful.

Thank you

Peace
