Untitled
We are misconstrued
From the moment we are born
To begin and end in a burst of violence and pain.
All forms of structure are rendered meaningless,
A ghost of reality,
Apparition of false pretense. Always just out of reach is
the inevitability of stolen innocence, like a ghost in the night
Vanishes before it is ever truly discovered.
Sucked dry as a corpse and left to sour and rot internally
The hollow shell of a human being walks among us,
through the streets that continue bustle and burn
It waits within us all.
