Charcoal Became My Shadow

My words have seen tragedy  
adjusting to the dark soul
with humanity at its worse  
of monsters and photographs
and then weevils invaded my mind
forty ways to make a golem  
grasping my tongue    
of opium's bell rung  
as charcoal became my shadow
of bones buried in the fallow
carrion in the fields sung  
the wonderful world of beetles
Written by adagio
