FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION
In sotto voce, a stricken tone
We have lost it all
The trials and the fears we’ve known
In dark, the cabal
They regard me as nothing
In their static gaze
They look not at me, through me
Into the obscurity
I can feel their eyes, like blade on grindstone
I am the blade that cannot pierce
And rusted by many years
I am nothing, claw and tooth
I am nothing, so are you
The holder of the key
In transcendent debris
Stardust leaking from mouth
As all avian life flies south
No clemency from the rain
No refuge from the disdain
No storm to relieve the calm
No pain, for which I’ve longed
No glass I yearned to shatter
No rungs to climb the ladder
No cage that I seek to escape
No way I could be so vain
I am nothing, through and through
I am nothing, I am you
