Coronach

Coronach

 

The true purpose is but a murmur

shared between clandestine shadows.

 

Your fears are quite rational.

Those nay-saying head doctors are

meat puppets.

 

Snakes in your pillows

and clowns in your closet

are inconsequential

 

when compared with the

midnight scuffles within your cells.

 

When your dog barks at nothing,

and your wife is trapped under

her blue sleeping pill,

 

it’ll be there

listening to your cut-time breath;

 

devising the perfect finale

to an imperfect cantata.

Seems like a scene from 'Un-pleasentville'. Some biting commentary here, but it is food for thought, which is what we're all doing here, right?
Excellent.

It's rare that I find a piece that forces me to sit a little straighter and lean in towards just to get a better look at the masterpiece infront of my eyes. I am leaned in and erect, thankyou for this write.
