among the lean and narrow hours when the brutal minutes aggrieve like the protruding ribs of an emaciated animal abandoned things shuffle into dark unkempt little rooms littered with the manifested debris of a life unspoken thoughts in rusted cans stacked heedlessly on overused shelving bowing perilously under the weight mangled hopes kicked into the corners stuck to the floor foul and fetid vitiated with wasted time black mold leaking from dilapidated hearts creating pointillism art across the sagging plaster overhead consuming an ersatz Sistine Chapel ceiling saints and angels prophets and devils sepia toned in their water stain media disappearing into corruptions artistic virtuosity only God remains visible reaching out to give life if any are left to receive it
