THE SUN HAS ABANDONED ME
                                  icarian wishes have led me back to the grave i dug long ago

there, the ashes       •                      of those who dared to                     +                   • FACE THE LIGHT         +  •        mingle with the earthworms    •                        and the roots                     +. of malnourished trees                     

the universe above has nothing to offer or else i would have grabbed the milky way with my bare fists and yanked until the stars shed their skins and revealed the broken ambitions within

WHAT IS LEFT
when the very 
cosmos are 
conquered by 
the children
of the Earth’s
core?

I                                                                                                                      EMBRACE
     AM                                                                                        TIME'S
                BUT                                                              IN
                              A                                BEING
                                        MINISCULE

come find me among the debris.
