I find myself within the purview
Of that decrepit estate I know
Too well, held captive in that
Corner where the ivy grows to
Abscond the coursing despondent
Thoughts that seep forth
From my fading steps

Surrounded by the crippling
Echoes of my silent discoveries
Left here in a protruding
Expanse of vacancy to
Become that leaf limbed
Statue of deserted dreams
