Merchants of ire

Amplified silence  
Stinging to the ears  
The hollow depth of disgrace  
Is pungent and raw  
Unkempt desires afflicting the vessel  
Knickknacks and pleasantries know no concept of distraction  
I am lain out in the dark  
Seething—  
and tempered  
Visions of denial jerk at the chains of capacity  
Old memories stain the iris  
No second chances to calcify the bone  
I’m hardened—  
by a taint of depravity that tickles my tongue
