Cruel are the eyes the gaze with night vision, with thermal-sight Gazes extending endlessly to all corners Warping around walls, seeing through windows, tint or no No, the violations have gone for far too long Yet inescapable they are There is no escape, truly but if there is, it would be found only in death I butcher myself, in more ways than one My forearms, my thighs, my belly Taking the appearance of a torturers plaything Eyes sink lazily in their sockets And as they roll too far to each side the dizziness sets in The ethos of mankind is separate from I In this sole, cold spot in the world wherein they cannot remain Species outdo themselves and encircle us Condemn the human and revere the ape and simian Leap from it, leap from the heights of their faux grandeur There is nothing shared in their accomplishments They will even sell you the rope to hang yourself

It is sickening - their outreach Barbed taloned hands reaching out to grab the helpless They will never touch me. My skies are imagined; they are immaculate All that I craft is for the eyes of the blind; The ears of the deaf The tongues of the tasteless The mouths of mutes. A pit, a tomb, where no light can enter Devoid of the industry of hope Solace is found in isolation Solace is found in solitude My world(s) are stricken with a deep, unending famine Deficient in lifemarrow I am outstretched into a nothingness, compelled to masquerade as worldly My dreams are like no other, yet are just as distant The sun cannot be snuffed, so it yet burns Biting and stinging its way right down to the nerve How much of it is there be? You're about to find out It's always closer than you think.
