Sunset Song

See the thin strands
Of sanity
Left

As I stand

Arms locked
Firmly

Over my tired breasts

Waving
An imaginary trophy

In my head

The madness heightens...

See the moth ball

Rolling down
The mountain

Picking up debris
That fell

And continue
To fall

From my life

The evidence grows...

See the rainbow
Turn its back on me

As I tirelessly struggle
To

Chain myself to a tree

Too stubborn

For freedom

In the skies,

Watch the colours bleed

See the straight road
Take a quiet turn

As my hardened hands
Carve

A path 

In the belly
Of a serpent

Overflowing
With venom

In the horizon,

The silent street sighs

My spent limbs

Lose all hope

My vacant eyes

See no home

My shrunken heart

Has the chills

And

My soul
Cries out

That age-old plea
