Passions, emotions, dreams,
such poignancies
so easy to find
life dispersed like God to bear
i take i drink i feel for all
my heart adhered to love
like a thief it steals resolve
the task subdued
as even occupiers brood
protests dull in mood
laws and actions null
bought and sold to siphon off and scold
what art adrift
a lonely solace in spare grace
corroding angst cathartic sleep
what will demand my sorrows’ need
and rage against the time unspent
