Palimpsest
Adam Kalmbach
Disposable morphology
Caving in the cage of my body
Sarcophagus full of black water
The galling sense
Of intolerable restraint
The galling sense
Of intolerable restraint
Straying through an infinite nothing
Wasted youth
Wasted youth chained to this tomb
Torn away
From that self
Who could do more
Yearning to crawl
To crawl in
Among the machinery
Rain over black algae
Charred crucibles
