darkness lurks
in the golden penumbra
swirling specks of
sickness coloring
the edge of dawn
in a disheartening
variance of vertiginous
volume which swallows
nascent hopes still
budding on the branch

an anxious electricity
crackles with each new
disparity in disparaging
i believe i have become
two dimensional in this
land of fully flawed
delusionary dilutions
a dastradly deterioration
in fourth dimension
liminal spaces casting
shadows across love’s
lingering malaise
