NIGHT'S SAD  DEEP VOID  (11-29-91, Jamaica Beach, Galveston Island, Texas)  

     
       
no bed of sleep          
       
for me tonight      
     
instead        
     
its off      
     
to these cold      
     
dead sheets      
     
here in my      
     
empty bed         
     
where i ll lag away      
     
once more again    
     
into this nights      
     
sad  deep voids      
     
long  restless hours      
     
to slowly sink      
     
and fade away      
   
unheld
 
unloved  
     
here in the quickly        
     
diminishing heats  
   
lost warmth    
   
of my once again      
   
seemingly perpetual    
   
relentless    
   
aloneness          

preceedingly haunting

the inevitable

increasing coldness

of potentially

more of this

still yet

to come
