shadow dorcha

Through      worn mark            tattered         skin  
       Lost night     shaking     blurred    eyed light  
Of wall         slashed       new pain          begins  
Slinging sun         off black          white  on   night...  
 
         Operation       exchange       raw sensations  
Lamenting time               flicker        touch nerves  
Clever guise          relentless         engagements  
Plateau  underneath        howling              heard...  
 
Crumble a stone               into earthy      center  
Seeded lies  rot  hope      false shining potency  
        Heart  toll   rock           now an inner cinder  
       Washes     away         soul's       sovereignty...  
 
Tall building falls     cards couldn't cut    deck  
        Triton forked on                    road then split  
Sideways     holy chain  wore around       neck  
Drove countless phantoms       raging         fits...  
 
Will    clocks stop          fire    sensation recede?  
Down further mashing          hammer   did fall  
          Twisting truth judged forever         deed  
    Tumbling        masses     spirit broken       all...  
 
Forgot their name       no chosen     profession  
Blow away        sky       commit all             trees  
     Gaps         mind       nerve slant intermission  
Now         natural form has lost               empty...  
 
She sold her bag of soul for a song and a jester  
But then forgot her heart in hasted sequester...
