Desolation
by Ryan Scully
Tormented minds,
engulfed in distance,
rotted in the inhospitable land
of deaf songs and blurred sight,
of disease constricting the mangled soul,
of the quiver of a single heartbeat.
Intents were discarded,
lost in the isolated wandering.
They tried to escape the
stench of darkness,
but they perished,
drowning in emptiness
to their deaths.
