Humors

A humor plagues me

Sardonic, mal-adaptive

Sick with illusions

Stretched thin and vacant

The broken spirit returns

Its dim spark dusted

Chipped and crumbling stones

Bronze markers greened by weather

Failing memory

The grave digger laughs

Asleep on designer beds

The decorous dead

Bitter with irony

Lives, terrible and trifling

Proud and wicked

Bold as the golem

Hungry as a legion, swine

Feeding at the trough
