Macabre
in Human Angst
Albert
Serrano
Amidst
my feet
lie
endless beat
from
where my soul
devote
to me.
What
are my options
when
my heart
tells
me what to do?
Why
am I lost?
For
lost in space
divulged
from
truth.
If
you're there
to
make me happy
why
has sadness
overcome
me in drought.
If
you have seen
all
my interknitting
then
why do you tangle
in
such a web?
If
you have studied
then
why do I know
more
than you?
Ah,
such questions
I
ask of you.
Yet,
you stand there
divulged
from truth.
Whilst
you mingle
in
Houdini rope
as
a catalyst to
a
madman's hope.
While
you ask of me
for
my past
hence
you handle
with
such a task.
And
as a tumor of a heart
beat
to the droplets
of
a storm.
I
only ask
what
have you done
to
attract such scorn?
Yet,
you stand there
divulged
of truth.
As
I lay,
Away
from you.
