"PRELUDE"
Kneeling in the dark,
Broken under a homeless shelter,
companion of storm in the open air,
Starless, Moonless
Immersed in mud
full of thoughts.
Dreaming that one day I'd get rich
With all that existed
hands-free, old-fashioned
digging the treasure of the same misery
full of torn corpses.
Prelude
Silent Duel,
Begging for innocence
Prey to thirsty blood desires
where the whole, the nothingness
they come together forever.
And I continue to transcend into futility
Disabled, buried alive
That one day
I will become comfortable with my own peace.
