She Comes From Nowhere

Hello? I know you, please come back?

​Pusillanimous walk-right-past-me-no!

​ ​ Lost and lignified, my knees graaaaaze

​ ​ Shuffling at a dilatory pace unto peace

​ ​ ​ Blurry and blue neverminded never-care

​ ​ ​ ​ Figments never seem to stop? Orientate

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Me to this plighted paucity of wherever

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ I reside? A saber-rattle subjection space?

🕊︎

An abstemious Avernus?¿?¿

Solstices still roost beneath my mortal

​ ​ Mottled, flushed, forgotten, unwashed

​ ​ ​ Sept skin in Lamina low-light purgatory

​ ​ ​ ​Leeched color, fractals of shunned gray

​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ Seldom reflect “HELP” in SpAsMoDiC

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ Torsional Tophet, skewed suborn cycles

🕊︎

Of fucking negligence

Visionless sidelines starve retinue sight

​ ​ So-so-so out of mind’s brusque mindset

​ ​ ​ ​ When minds wither, it’s never free will

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Or free-willed condign reproof in cells

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ Repeating myself-REPEATING myself

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ Within winnow weltanschauung walls

🕊︎

She never thought she would get old

She never thought she would rot in "care"

Now, she never thinks, amid thoughtless acts
