The Union of Man

PASSION

Twisting
Ebony dreams
Sunk
In engulfing
Darkness.

***

AMBITION

Flames
Branding--scorching
Torching
My tired hands

***

CONCEIT

Birds perched
On cutting
High-wires

CONSCIENCE

Weak sobs
Of
A tenderness
Which cannot endure

***

FEAR

Black heart
Bare
To
A slicing wind
