Calliope Nerve: Poetry is prayer. God is ink. Stop by our showcase and check out all of our selections.DelusionTime marooning me
empireless and alone,
my song an inner growl
of discontent and vengeance,
my foes not paper foes
crushable in a careless squeeze,
but carnivores of desire
knelling doom to expectations
lost in the high rafters,
drowned in the mad swim
to the hope of the horizon
where I will be rescued
by the liferaft of destiny.
