Lament

Photo/Poem 1 Minute 

 Drowning in fresh squeezed confusion
 with the intensity of a crippled heart,
 
 Dancing to paranoid surrender,
 choking on much useless talk,
 
 The vicious kilter of
 love gone awry,
 
 The world all gristle and ghosts,
 dirges lamenting the nothingness
 of it all,
 
 The nostalgia tattoo throbs
 in memories of the imagined promises
 that could never have been.
