An eclipsed moon
A silhouetted path
Dismembered contours of the dark
Cast me into inescapable gloom
My path meanders
Through a shimmering abode
Of undeserved riches
Avarice swells from an empty room
Drifting dusk
Blemishes the Raven sky
A shadow of guilt beclouds my being
Spells my nearing doom
I flee from the glittering mirage
Into the moonlight
Sheened in its brilliance
I paint stars on the grass
