Poetic Dirge
 Apr 2020 Pluto

Ghostly ebony horses silently plodding in dust along the
slumbering mountains,
in dreams of my concealed thoughts,
the horses' dead eyes haunt
even the recesses, the yielding,
the insane reaches of my mind,
as descending melancholy
imprisons me with its blackness,
its poetic dirge, its deep knells.

A phantom pall covered coffin
pulled by these gaunt specter
horses,
this bier in shadows- who is
bourne in it ?
my mortal, it is fragments of
my heart,
which could no longer bear
the loss of the lives from-
world hunger and war.

chemical nights
city lights
and the isolation

farming dreams
while they scream
in my head

loneliness eats
and it repeats
in synchronisation

insects crawl
while people talk
in my head

gnarly roads
vapours from smoke
and annihilation

words i write
have already died
in calming insulation

and the rot
has set;

the dark coming down
all over me.
the city haunts at night.

Speak thy name, watch them appear
Wicked grasp, we fill with fear
No bunkers left, for our escape
Darkness cometh, with crimson cape

Hard to breathe, as lungs fill up
Barren pantries, empty cups
Rotten fruit, falls from the vine
As nations hunger, we wait in line

Tiny demon, with mass impact
Conspiracies, without concrete fact
Markets crash, a lack of faith
Hunted by this ghostly wraith

With gloves on hands, we grasp
Masks on faces, we collapse
No news, no end in sight
This year brought forth an evil blight

Those without laid down and cried
Those with money, up and died
It came for young, and old alike
No shields worked, nor deadly pike

Wooden planks laid over graves
Dirt to shovel, with steel spades
Hard to dig, through rough-hewn stone
For the love of God, please stay at home
Please stay at home and prevent the spread of something that could take away someone else's loved one.  The parks and beaches and bars will still be there when we come out of this.  Be smart and listen to the facts, not the crazies on Youtube who have a medical degree from a crackerjack box.  Stay safe everyone and pray for those who have to put their lives at risk making sure we all come out of this.
