Escaping the forgotten
Sometimes I can't escape the forgotten.
Their screams splitting my progress
startled cavernous and keening.
The moon heeds their footsteps;
his darker faces mystical,
and grin slanted dynamite
with a fire growing steadily
in his intentions.
Crying wolf into secluded silences,
their voices echo until sound
waves roll back into the shore
of their harboring mouths.
Nobody ever has enough life to listen,
the wolf blithely devouring them all.
I live as an exception,
imprisoned blood impaling
its fists into my body's
apathetic walls.
Admittedly it took me a while to notice,
though empty mirrors and a hundred death ears
offered all the agonizing hints needed.
I have my time and place to die
stapled into deaths diary on
a florescent yellow memo.
This isn't it.
They came for me on a Monday sunrise.
Although my shell and memory were taken,
I had planted my heart into the ground.
Maybe it'll grow into someone
worthy of remembrance.

Re: Escaping the forgotten
The subject matter is unique and the last few images are strong and stick out.
The introduction of the wolf threw me off a little. I read through it a few times, but I'm still struggling a bit.
This is a solid poem and (as most your poems do) will be in my mind for a while.

Wonderful work, Scribbler. I love the tone & the flow in this beautiful write. Love these incredible lines, in particular, & that wonderful finish:
I have my time and place to die
stapled into deaths diary on
a florescent yellow memo.
Great one! :)
