A Flight Into the Abyss

in the mud or a pristine pool

A Flight Into the Abyss

 

broken arrow-

feathers in the wind

fear unchecked

 

let me drown in the mud

rather than face the demons

that crucified my pride

 

shriveled heart-

buckling knees

trembling fingers

 

I cry in the wilderness

for those that I’ve forsaken

a thousand deaths I die

for the faithlessness of my acts-

the facts of my deceit will forever haunt me

as I curl up in a fetal position

shivering and shaking the night away---
