city of animosity

 

I live in the city

of animosity.

I take up residence

in the house

of manifest destiny,

and I dwell

in the cellar

of a sordid reality.

 

reconcile my soul

and take hold

of this rampant spirit.

 

locked away, is the

mechanism of my heart

and the key

discarded in tonight’s

unforgiving sea.

 

lost on this,

road of no hope.

I wonder aimlessly

through the wilderness

of disbelief.
