My Brain is Cement

Lack of cognitive and clarity of brain functions precede the loss of friends.

My brain is cement
My heart is cracked
Once a diamond
Reverts to coal
Darkened rainbow

Muscle shoveling
Stripped flesh
Bones devoured
Corruption
Of empty guts

Sumerian to Phoenician
Phoenician to Etruscan
That letter A turned around
Like my life
Constant turmoil
Despite this sludge

Slow aching
Death approaching
Friendless
I’ve never been able
To hold onto those
Who once loved

Now grown cold
As I must be cool
Free them as they’ve freed me
From affection, from hope
No other choice
 
I will die alone
Bury me deep in the earth
Where warmth will melt
This burden
So many years

I sense no lack of cognitive or clarity of brain function, Danae. Deep feelings of alienation, yes, but great survival strength and acute perception. Some write because it's a new day. You write because you have something very powerful to say. We all die alone but you have kindred spirits.

Thank you Regis. I never know if readers are moved or don't get it as I don't post all that often. It's a risk to hear criticism, so I rarely put myself in that position. I appreciate your feedback, DW

You've penned a streaming purge of inner-pain few have experienced, styled as it is in syncopated syntax, it brings forth a certain kind of empathy from the reader that remains at arms length, a vibration alongside reality's honesty. Well done.

Your verses "speak" to me, Danae; and I can relate to what you express through them. Love and best wishes,

Regis
