The Wretch

Silent in your confession

there are no words to express

the void of our creation

the sting of loneliness.

Puppets to the grand design

unseen hands at the back

knowing unfulfillment 

but not knowing what we lack.

Dressed up and painted.

Do puppets wear masks?

I look in the mirror.

Who is it who asks?

The shadow are not changed,

there is no contrition.

I bow to your tomb

and groan in submission.

Funerals suck on so many distinct levels.
