an insubordinate social outcast
carved in the stone of a marrowbones' sheltered mind
in the aftermarth of a nocturnal storms' reluctance to perform
on the distant seas of an unopposed retreat;
a platonic love with the heiress to my oil
as coils the rheumatic turmoil of a delayed menopause
settling its' wings deep into my shoulders of inept
and gathers together the frozen fragments of my snow;
in the distilery of watered gold
the hallmark on my skin crawls with a plagues lacklustre crawl
through a civil unrest of protesting unease
marching through the streets of my heart;
craving nothing more than silence
and a closed eye for the consumption of a bottled rage
like a caged rat having squandered its' chance of escape
so I sleep with a meadows dust in the company of wolves;
an insubordinate social outcast
bickering with the fluorescent tongue of a morphines twisted kiss
it was never my attention to detail
in the aftermath of my nocturnal storms' reluctance to perform;
it was never my intention that it should ever end like this;
