Consolidated Companionship
Lurking
behind me, an obscurity projected against the air-
Whispering, Its hot breath
slipping
down
my
neck.
Awakened from perdition,
I anticipate the treason
of this creature.
Begrudgingly the ringleader , abiding by
me- its master.
Chained into my throne,
A crown embedded preeminently
atop
my head.
Demanding an escape from its claws,
I’ll have built myself
a sepulchre, a barricade
from
the
sun
But alas! I
depreciate
upon its paws.
Can
the
captain endorse a mutiny unprovoked?
Swiftly ambushed, taken hostage-
A victim to infiltrations of my
consciousness
How
lucid and pure
an ignorance remains-
When those timorous of p h a n t o m s neglect
What compensates for a necklace,
Grasping
at your throat as
Children on playgrounds rejoice
with
their
shadows.
