a disused fane

only mostly lonely
he sat and waited
to feel like a man again,
a lifting feeling
a brand new skin.
tired of just being a friend.
tired of swimming upstream
and finding the water too shallow,
his own heart,
too callow.

engineer'd the premise whilst sleeping
those vivid tremors
that find him leaving
a coward in his scoffing
a someone left for wanting
an abjudication of these things.

kept a surface of happy
throughout spines dissolving
crippled and walking
head held high and dreaming.

(stood on top of that mountain
watched creation beginning
thought he'd found his way
to compensate for everything.)

That's a perfectly good fane. Someone should be using it.

Is that fane for me? And also what gets adored there? You?

Lukas Abrhm said...

no...but i'm not saying i wouldn't mind.
being a practitioner of a dead art has it's downfalls...
a fane in my honor would rock.
