In a state of disrepair...

Consequence and loathing are eternal.
Threads that drop through floors of steel
and concrete affected defences.
Such reasoned impulse lingers on
attaching like a parasite
to all or any left without
cold comfort of the grave.

The shine of life wears off
like metal rust devoured or
the religions of the apathetic.
Why not take what is not given
if innocence is so endemic?

Faith is just a word.
Hope nothing but a lie.
They mean nothing unless you let them
feed on the empty orbs of your eyes.
Hollow promises uttered to a mirror!

Almonds are no more bitter
than am I.
I have been devoured.

"And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea,
But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and the fifty-three."
