To short-sighted eyes;

Tetris -

to
Springs mind.

Poem #34

I suppose now,
The time has come -

In spite of all,
At last;

To tread towards
The nearest sign,

To sojourn from
The past.

Coursework

I stare
at the stack.
Stood tall,
And bold;
Of sweat,
And grit,
And sheer
Resolve.

Yule

Even a scrooge,
In his castle keep,
A lone fire burning
While he drifts out to sleep,

Once wondered
In fright,
Amid the sundering night,
If he was worthy
Of either judgement or bribe.

Poem #31

I have but only
Finite lights,
And each cruel word
Breaks bulbs.

Poem #30

My joys are but
The hung-wax tears,
Of a candle
Once burnt down.

Death Concluded

The wall of slate,
Once thought too high -
To gaze beyond;
As all things, dies.
