Fallen Eudaimonia

There are several truths that float here

Like leaves on winters infinite pool

And sometimes sink after hours, further,

Into the depth of my breakable mind.

 

I am almost always clothed to the body

Of an undetermined tomorrow,

Suffocating in the sleeves

Of any hopes shirt.

Keep you, I have been, for there

In the dirt road of my eyelids

You play with the riddled veins

Light cables unmet by reason.

 

It is not a tragedy, because

sideshow children were once living

And in their surrounds

Alive, beautiful people breathed.

 

I will be eluded by a string of pacifiers

A mobile above my head at night

But in-between lies of mystic creatures

And pearl planets, I will always be met by myself.
