Bent Words

August 28, 2004

Do not find me now

Do not seek me out

Melting through the furtive ground as I decompose

Allow this evening to delay infinity, grant me such repose

Do not ask me why

Do not hear my cry

Servile to darkness, quenching further the fear

Despondent to the gaities of Saturday night's cheer

Do not dare to repeat

Do not hold up last week

Intrepid security, shining the light upon all I lack

Knowing so much less is too much to

ask

Do not give me grace

Do not keep this pace

Do not let me feel

Do not make this night real
