barred reflection

should I perish
here today

for to cherish
but the morrow

as the arrow
of our time

has worked its way

yond this splayed flesh

boring deep
within the chasm

spurn the chaos
of my heart

once a sanctum
of ideals

ere the truth
congealed its err

and its story
sadly stolen

by the whispers
of the wind
