Lost Verses

More honor

in shame

than ever

 false glory

 

The larceny

of time

cleft moments

abscond

 

Passion

 untitled

prescience

but memory

 

Pandering

fantasies

prevaricate

long

 

Lost verses

of blood

all pain

in their letting

 

Remembrance

a shadow

of days

underserved

 

Redemption

a silence

that screams

in our absence

 

Placating

our fear

when the Sirens

— are heard
