I too, wept
in sonorous anguish
At my heedless impulse
and unthinking distress
In our chorus
wrought of screams
I despaired
In wretched, debilitating recollection
I mourned
In my
cascading
agony,
I lamented
in palpable abasement
incapacitated by guilt
& piercing abjection
I was
Ornamented in grief
I've never known
and then I knew it again
and so these words changed
as art changes through the ages
and my artistic integrity will be permanent
only when my hand is held in skeletal guidance
in my dying days, when I seek to be alone, and remember
my regrets
