Quicklime ~ Friday, February 16, 2024

I give up on dreams

give up on success, on hope
if say, at my age
visions of dry streams
environmental neglect

understand the rope
pulls my fiercest rage

onto the soft earth to sleep
needless, weak defect

designed to do what
reasonable blanks cannot
end the painful cut
answer the onslaught
merely without a trace, sweep
sense beyond the screams
