| WAYFARING By Carl Scharwath WAYFARINGCity rain breathing Radiation from the storm clouds As tar black feather balls Disguise the avenue.Ghosts in the metropolis Leer from empty buildings Poisonous tomb stones Rising in the shadowsDevout of humanity Lifeless and forsaken On what journey The victim returns? ADMONITIO You are the genesis of today The cancers of a desperate heart etched in the loss of hope.Vision doubled, fractured fragments give warning Blood rushes in a sojournFollowing the Daughters of Zion adorned in self-alienation to a future world, without history. AXISThe passion shall escape While the past, Flickering hungry Is Bleached invisible.You gaze at The unfeigned light Walking out determined From the world.Knowing how it feels To be broken And have a black hole On your time-line. ENDEMIC SOULAmong the painted faces lost in a labyrinth of emotional chaos.Lies a linguistic fault line meandering down the expanse of imagination.The day obliterated in metaphysical time searching for yourself. APHONIC She is the lament of the voiceless consuming silence onto parchment into the psyche, histories skirmish chains of the enslaved loosen their duress to her words– we together manipulatethe pendulum to rebuild our most treasuredcommodity- |
