#2,369 Shadowland

I stare into rolls of darkness
because of civilisation –
It is
said we’ll seek cruel horrors
& disfigurements to explain
how we ogle ourselves
[any
beauty will devour us] –
See
fools bow low to narcissists
& sour-tooth matriarchs
[all
men are put down] –
Out of
sight a lengthy unkindness
[shady loneliness] circles &
devours my slip of time –
in
this shadowland I am blind
