Kylyra → The Poet

In the dustbin of the world

The poet lies bleeding

Railing against the light
Against the night-blooming poison
Stealing sacred dreams
And dew-fresh flowers.

His hands foreign things
His mind a maze of menace
To his soul;

He lost his words to the wind.

The moon judges him coldly,
A pencil shaded figure
Vomiting black ink.

The poet is no more;
Only the dust remains.
