Condolences

A Poem

By Maison RayPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Exclusive horde of highbrows.

Show appreciation.

Attended stag:

His lone silhouette scream

silenced by the soft, sour, rotten

terrorism of sharp consequence.

Sodden with suspicion,

folded in the corner.

Tolerably seductive story—

sob story.

The wolves exaggeration would be redundant

in a sterile town of self-pity.

Closed doors hid the fruitless hole of a lover

fucked raw with hatred and false confidence of a

fading youth.

The step-child generation:

collectively deaf, blind, dumb.

An agitated arousal to slap oneself

into blushing stupor.

When no one’s happy,

why do they love it here?

Withdraw into a shell of a relic

of what-could-have-been.

A could-have-been.
