No Respite

Wren Andre
Wispy tendrils invade my home
Sticky remnants of a tattered past.

What reveals

This hearth does not embrace me
Devours scraps of another life.

Always here.

The ugly scratch of hate called words
Stained papers with ink sting the air.

Gripping me

The hands on the accusing clock
Strike me for being your fool.

All alone

The most complete thing I have done
Though fear it is the only way.

Not okay

Whether I laugh or I scream
Want is unfulfilled in me.

No respite.
