Woe Betide
Woe Betide
When the deep anguish hits 
There be no escape into pages 
Into words 
Only the kenophobial cavern inside
Yawing its purgatorial lamentation 
Into the echoing wilderness of the night sky
The burning light of the stars 
Screams across impossibly vast emptinesses 
To hollow out my eyes 
Everything in existence chanting: 
alone, 
alone, 
alone
And the flimsy armor of language
Peeled away like vapor 
Unveils the guardian of human culture for what it is: 
Merely a wail 
That dwindles into a whimper 
Before joining the great silence.
