incomplete

the fool's quest ends only one way
futile and cold after leftover chances
withheld like the missing pieces

never enough and always deprived
into a form forever unreachable
it fails to evoke that sensation

when it whispers those lies again
in which mere semblance cannot
none would fill that hollow outline

it fails to evoke that sensation
withheld like the missing pieces
in which mere semblance cannot

none would fill that hollow outline
never enough and always deprived
futile and cold after leftover chances

into a form forever unreachable
when it whispers those lies again
the fool's quest ends only one way

(2023)
