RED EYES FROM THE BOTTLE

 

Red eyes from the bottle

                break intrigue

            over frattered night

Skies, stars aloof & distant

                none near

                     none close

                     enough to touch

 

still so far—still so far

            all I ever hear

                   at all

       is the distance—

              the distance to go

      to break through

                   the barriers

 

never see the light

                  shining bright

                 past yonder sight

       not seem unknown

                   faith hope

                       betrayed

 

          --so distant--

A fast-paced tumble through

A fast-paced tumble through the inner storm, delivered with a masterful ability to make us feel every brilliant line. Awesome work.
