Dead Reckoning (+2)

The devil in the details

—hell the final sum

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)

 

 

 

Borrowed Time

 

The air I breathe,

the blood that flows

 

The light that shines,

the voice that knows

 

The question asked,

the answer stoned

 

Tomorrow sold

—today on loan

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)

 

 

Railway To Hell

 

Everyone else has gotten off,

how long am I to stay?

 

The train unstationed, tender gone,

its engine writhed in pain

 

Did I miss my stop on the journey down?

“an express” the porter screamed

 

All light afire, ticket burnt

—satanic nightmare dreamed
