down yonder

possession of his wild soul
came into question the moment
his pursed lips tasted the grave

mingling in the multitudinous
he frantically searched the familiar
dark shadows observing
hot burning firelight

his origins erased perdition replaced
he fled the cramped crowded corridors
endless never screaming hello

uneasy ache caress 
tormented bones howling
painless porcelain package
unbreakable release
