garden of forking paths

renounce in vast intricate labyrinth

we've lost our mysteries

engraved in unspoken thought

running wild through fallen boughs

my weary prophet

guardian of seclusion

illuminate

dissolve

in winged intent

a burden crippled

blind

attrition

abrasion

a cripple

burden 

breath

a lost breath

illuminate

the pale atmosphere

summon

broken shards

reflective

outward

spill through bent holes of teeth

i want to see the pain that binds love

i want to feel these bleak holes that bite

held like a stillborn hope
