oblivion, i will be
as the amber light seeps away
the winds no longer whistle
they bellow their death rattle
upon iron roofs.

absolution, you are absent
trees bend in aversion
colossal kamikaze waves crawl closer
then roll away again
as if startled.

resolution, you are wilted
a withered rose held aloft
a remnant of radiance
clung onto for too long
now woebegone.

salvation, seldom seen
saliva saturates your silken shroud
what solution do you offer
but silence?
send me beyond solitude.


INTO OBLIVION.
