The mindless never-after (2008)
by Jesse Young
Oh abiding pain,
In memoriam,
Mind abated, thoughts restrained.
My misshapen soul,
Itched, wallowed & lost control.
Sullied long to,
Labour a cloistered hole.
Though drawl,
Sexless nights held terrors,
Ambered in death’s thrall.
Onrushing visions spill out,
Traffic lights whirl,
Past & present cemented,
The future, I confess, not so sure.
