Infamy

Unhinged

Dark Moon

Bundle of joy.

Rapt in a stone-bellied mannequin.

***

Priceless bloody jewel

in the depths of a terrestrial pit.

***

Heritage stretches its limbs,

then echoes its voice from a fleeting moment of rhythm.

***

What began,

scrambles its way to the inkwell.

***

Liberty vetoes your quest for daybreak...

...Wineskin in the dust.

***

The mouth of the pincers toy with your destiny.

Only purpose serves to enlighten.

***

Today is the only tomorrow

There is

No footprint on the parchment.

Okay to cry

Freedom of

Choice is infamous.

***

Involuntary absence makes you a protagonist.
