The Writers' Circle

Delineated by localized decadence-

Now chemically altered

To bear the strain . . .

 

Conflicting incoherent images- 

A hedonistically induced trance- 

Guarded, abbreviated living

to prevent further pain . . .

 

Parasitic lovers . . .

feeding voraciously from one another

through transparent needful deeds-

until the inner being is drained . . .

 

Nothing remains . . .

a vacant hollow . . . stained-

A diminished caricature of self-

Zero capacity to love . . . and then only in vain-
