Seeing

Inevitably,
all that we sought, we'll see fall, grateful for the loss;
and the grave of our longing
becomes our Elysium.

Despot

Time is a tyrant
I'll not placate by heeding
what its slaves demand.

Pierce

I am born
from those who worked the coalface,
from those who stoked the furnace.

So, my eyes
will adapt to emptiness,
but aren't long blinded by fire.

don't waste your warm breath
to revive a cold dead carp
rotting in the bank
