Faced With Reason

  -From 'Noon Realizations'

Heart
afire with agony
seethes in the
afterburn of day...

Disjointed
the limbs
and slackened,
the pain inebriates...

The mind swims in
a sea of unreason,
at high noon
the tide ebbs...

Floating the corpse
bobs in the foam
shocked and
taken...

Slowly
entrenched in time
by things
unknown...
