The mouth no longer speaks.
The mind has ended its quest.
The requiem
Of every artist
Must be propitious...
Signed Certification of an attending
Mentality.
With this certificate
I hereby commend you
To the bounds of
The stuffed cabinet...
Place of rusting expectations
An epitaph of
Stagnant rumor.
Agonized spirit.
Imprisoned by time.
Tortured by memory.
Yearning for oblivion––
The mindless peace
Known only to soul-less things.
