In the crumbling scene, the
collapse, the plumes of bleak
Trace the outlines of struggling
forms
Of each soul shaping the shadows in
the altered world
Witnessing, listening and seeping
The crevices of silenced sights
and shattered thoughts
Vast indifferent space replicates
The anxiety of disintegration
Lost meanings articulate desperation
A new language assimilates the
sinister
Hear the snapping scaffoldings that
hold the precious
Feel the chill surge diminish selves
Give way to gathering procession
of dread
As each fold inside
deeper and deeper into their own
shadows
