Celestial sphere held with indifference
Titans eyes dappled in rain
Strength of grasp begins to fade
Steadied arm spasms
Air of pain

Birthed axis shifts in space
Bones crack with silent pace  
Flesh dissolves to mist of pink

Illustration thus precipitates  
Pupils blacken in view of fate

The brutish atlas falls
Balancing at the presipice
On life's downward *****
Prentice of success
Ignoring of cues
Enveloped in pain  
Somatic failure

The blow of hindsight  
Faltering expectations
Drenched in fear
Fruition of average
Latent beauty show as skin
Hearts on sleeves held by men
Hair in face obscuring her view
Lack of expression peering through
Nomenclator steps beside her face
Euonym accepted with ignoble grace
Laying as a foetus
Insensate
Transform with rigor
Punctuate in loss
Ballad of fate
As a marionette
Automata
Permuting ones ego
Rote in distraction
Panacea we chase
Venerable
Peculiar transition
Scrupulous mind
Chromatically alive

— The End —
