around and into corners stretched
once upon a footnote etched
with battered fingers searching blind
to piece apart a listless mind
trace wall to wall through every room
divine the words that spell yet doom
monster wretched, ask not why
loathsome, lonesome, 'tis but i
sentenced to the end of days
cast into that endless maze
relentless terror built from stone
like glass i stand to break alone
last vestiges of futile grace
lost into darkness giving chase
thus enter hero, mesmerize
the forlorn fate to finalize
down to strike me, strong and deft
relieve me of what fight still left
(2023)
