Burial Row

Born of perdition’s rage

and damnation 

his life was spent in vain

 

Orphaned by every dead-end street

where darkness hides

the greatest pain

 

Fear his lone relation

among shadows  

with no escape 

 

Living disowned on burial row

cursing each gravestone

—dying in place  

 

(The New Room: September, 2023)
