& I stumbled...

mine have fallen;

split into crumbles,

Has my name spurted from mouths calling?

Perhaps even entrapped,

an energy I've lacked,

muscles of bones zapped,

excessive worry stacked -

I suppose...

decomposed ground ate soul up,

below levels which none can reach nor touch;

perchance:

body continues lingering just,

till eyes witness change pour over fires raging lush;

Of course days... weeks... months brew,

for mine never catch up to truth -

heaping aggrievances I've neglected,

possibilities which turn blind side of forming the resurrected;

ruminating steers nothing yet time purl sleuth;

Sight bears constraint...

clever liar in presence,

nefarious pretense,

upon knees knelt lullaby intense -

breathy 

&

icy licks heavy...

I lay whole self onto blankness to define,

draw heart within words of poetry lines,

brawl such dew glistening letters onto own whispering enshrine -

rhapsody shall mine...

ensuingly find?
