Opus 22

Unfinished Answer

Scott Bauer
I. A smothering haze

Mourning willows

Tempered dreams

Sorrowful anticipation

Night-blind owls watch

Men roaming the black rainbow

Chased by a sickle of pavement

Tracked by eagles and bears

The lone one bays in grief

II. Motionless earth

Stagnant moon

Heaven's lights fail to twinkle

Water is the haven

Of the animals' hopeless saviors

III. Twisted hills

Laced with anger

A homestead for the dead

Travelled by foot

The changed race

Roaming their tortured landscape

IV. Mausoleums are the cities

The climax of the kingdom

A boundless cage of agony

Lived in my none

The setting sun on man's last day
