Post Lamentation

Image from Ghost in the Machine, Jacob Sutton

I've come undone,
swept by the tidal waves
I've been devoured.


My synapses pulsing wildly,
furious at the blatant consciousness
in the cross aftermath.


I've struggled to retaliate,
dumb stricken by the desolation,
and yet I've held back.


Far ahead in the distance,
there's a flicker of light,
I ran after.


Nowhere to go, nowhere to be,
but facing a glint of hope,
I've never looked back.
