crevasse

reflected echoes manifest
wispy images of the past
are we doing better yet
they ask and down i let
i'm doing my best
but enough it isn't yet
cycle of twisted little tests
attempts always a mess
do i need to reset
or just need a little bit of rest

wonder when all be done
trapped inside flesh made prison
wires misplaced frayed and baked in sun
split and immolate cranium
invert all and shove down
cram and push til cracks the bone
ponder when i'll be gone
mirror shows a simpleton

endless crevasse of shattered skulls and splintered teeth
in a most vain and futile attempt to leave
examine and measure entire being
where did that little boy go, smiling
mind chewed, ground up and spit out once gone rotten
yearn for begotten
yet receieve no less than forgotten
