This burden, life
So weak
So weary
Lovelamp’s shadow
Crystalline
As before
God awful
Pitybrain
The loveless love
Gone static spirit
Blackened soul
Cursed by Thomas curlews
This burden, life
Oh weak
Heavy heart
Go
Where magpies nest
In the deep well, the
Underwater trench
Forgotten
Meaningless good works
Buried
In time
And lost to the mind
This burden, life
Unhinged
Meandog town
Stay
Unrecognized
Vented and bleeding
Clasp the vacant gaze
To my dumb bosom
Hold on
Failing sight
Medicate me
Unwanted unlover.
