Eclipsed

Source: Max Pixel (CC0)

First morning first Disquieting, uncertain, mystifying Wandering distracted so as not to be forced to focus The decrepit leaden layers Asbestos old to disassemble and disintegrate Wondering when to run And if I’ll know And if it’ll matter And if anyone will notice Bolting to sleep and gentled to wake A Loki these mornings are now Still tendering false hope Slowly draw back the time That the grey dawn is allowed to comfort You will hate to know Will scream and rail That your manipulations and evasions and revisions Have finally been eclipsed by something more powerful And far more dreadful
