Subdued


 Black matter, drinks me through,
hand on neck, I am subdued.
Soggy eyes scrape the sky,
weak incarnate, well-cried dry.
Owning answers, Still I ask
to sip a cup, brim-full of past.
 
The jeweled chalice o'malady,
might be all I'll ever see...
 
Lady Light clings in small heap,
silent as I spill my weep.
Ne'er to be in cosmo's bright,
I'm not up to that fist fight...
 
To see prospect, infinitely close
yet I can't grasp, with ease of most...
Arms reach up, to block the sounds
of my tumble-fall ..straight down.
 
Deep sunset has waded in-
it soaks on severed clouds...
I lay wounded, knees to ground-
Yep, the world has let me down.
