Why? What have they done?
Who has the culprit crossed and forced in another year?
Why have some gone, but we are still here?
Sitting in a circle of clouds. Enforced
Upon my head. Above my eager eyes
Misplaced. My mind abandoned. Seized to substance
Abused in months of excess. Heat flashes of memory
Breathing in good health. To stop the nightly excess
Pounding on the walls of the temple. Beside the cross
Bury me in the bay. Tempt me with throated swords no longer
Oh, I am weary. I am tired. Tired of leaping
Collections of caskets. I am lurking d**h
AN ANIMAL. A curse to myself
Harms way for those I cherish
Done. Forced in light
Versed, as the child, on and on
I am home
I am home
