rain drizzles in the conscious mind
a hole left from previous thoughts,
gently scrubbing the sides
removing the ageless plaque...
cavities that once held eyes are
empty save the invested bugs that
have made it their new habitat,
nostrils filled the ancient smells
convey the ominous signs of aging,
neck muscles protrude, conveying
images of restlessness, sleepless
nights brought about by fright...
menacing dialogues lay on the
ground unmolested for centuries
while crusaders mocked the faith
and hostilities were as rampant
as the drizzling rain that smooths
out distorted facial appearances,
ears bent inward and pointed
reflect the endless cycles of
listening but not hearing and the
fortuitous battles that ensured
robust memoirs left in its wake.
