the horn of Styx signals the all aboard

I

and suddenly we are all fans

of the the dead and dying 


II

I’ve over-outwardedly reached

and been singed buy a failure

to believe the best from others 

as they take-take-tell assume 

and others the best of me

when at my lowest kicked

while low and down


III

she takes her love away

and my lap gets cold

love-dust left

on my clothes clinging
