A Life's Residuum

A Sharp pointed fence between my mind and the world
-an unused life for sale...one, two, three, sold!
Fleeting glimpses of the past flow between
streaks of pleasure and pain umpteen.
Love drains, exposing an excruciating void
reduced I stand gathering my pieces, adios meteoroid!
Haply, leaving a macula where promises dwelt,
each wave of contemplation a new end meant
to the odyssey sprinkled with pandemic guilt,
a palpable stream gone - just ruins, silt.
Waiting for another crossroad to turn wrong
Praying for providence, this is getting too long.
Scavenging winds separate me shred by painful shred
I laugh at the absurdity, my heart is all lead
I cry at the obscurity, my heart is broken
the whole was silent, the pieces have spoken.
Don't miss tonight's show at the odeum
