The Blackout

Drenched in dampness -
Hope for the blindfolded's to be guided by the sundial.
Questions without answers -
All that's left is searching for a moon flash in the aisle.

(All that's left for me...)

Sharp drill of sadness
Itches in the coffee grounds' temple.
White pale and faithless -
Nothing matters in the blackout - sniff the candy apple smell and settle.

(And all that's left for me...)

Cat's eyes of obsession
Seem to see right through the pitch dark cover.
Weared out indignation
Makes no sense when you bathe in the tears of another.

So all that's left for me -
Carelessly dug up hole to feed
Swallowed down the power surge of need.
Now it is plain to see:
The uncaring door is shut despite your wish to bleed -
And this door is all that's left of me.
