a darkness of spell slips silently into the shallowest
regions of the mind
though once thought to be undetectable its imagery
became so deformed that it got gutted in the general
grind
what I say is not always heard as being even remotely
clear
yet, what I am constantly confronted by makes the hackles
on my back grow clammy as they appear
and never have I attempted to insult myself by saying
I truly do not know
for true wisdom in personal use does not begin with
phrases like
tell me why this is and where did you go?
obviously quite far away for never again can you bare
witness to further imperfection on my pain
only once imperfection did (and that was years ago)
I tag myself as worthless and insane
can't you see that today's events fulfill the majority
of all future memories
little is left to he who always lives in the past
and to it agrees..............
