Gods that reap true essence, once so fragile.

Deities close slender cracks of human mind.

Flashes in my optics, time stays agile

to depart a former life, now so blind.

Displays tell ciphers of limited soul.

relatives’ sentry whilst you decompose.

The thief with a heart, your being, it stole.

merely a grave, what remains is a rose.

Rain cascade passes so diligently,

My limestone skeleton fractures with time.

My prior husk, still rests innocently,

A decrepit headstone, far-off my prime

I once did tread on treasured earth, to mourn,

Places damned by my own, now land of scorn.
