Those blind metaphors are repeated—

Ended and repeated and thrown in to the abyss
An ovation of an encore of a long known remix;
The rant of a child so long out of breath
Bleated from the mouths of those bubbling with death.

The skin crawls over like a well worn pen
Reverberating echoes thrown back and again;
The metaphor reflected in the mutilated mache
Deaf voices scream all there is to say—

Metaphors repeated and repeated.
I often find myself abhorring my own writing, even as I type each letter. Sometimes I am unable to escape the feeling that everything has been said and why do I bother throwing my muck in. Yet here I am tossing it on the pile. Gods save me I am nothing but a hypocrite.
