Irritation from this spec of ash
reaching my eye to blind my
failure in a monstrous mask.
Neoprene stretched across my face,
custom fit to leave no hint,
no clue, no speculation
to where the corpse lays
in consternation.
Witnesses laid down
in moist black tar
never to testify or try
to erase the bruises
and stitches surfacing this mask.
Shoveled into furnaces,
the numb limbs fuel
the beast, igniting it's success
to storm idle crooks,
leaking ashes of sagacity
from it's wounds.


*-Not sure about title- need help

I don't know Jara it seems you should take something from the poem for the title or at least give it a title that explains the poem. I like the phrase 'ashes of sagacity' so I would use that but it has to be your choice because it's your poem.

a good commitee can decimate communication.
