Mutters absent/blindly

When lightning binds

fantasy in eyes

to the hope

we'll never die




wrap in rope

down periscope

throat's fantasy

punctures trope




afear'd that unrelenting

march to freedom tinged

vainly, dying of escape

from bountiful blessed, I singed




and strain to keep

lest love ever speak

desirously of what we're made

but that can never be
