AVALON ABYSS

On barren shores
Some, in their self-talk, desire
A combination of wit
And seriousness
---------------------------
Where once an apparition
Haunted my emptiness
So lonely
In my stranded want
Secrecy bleeds
As a naked necromancer
I scream needles
Into the Avalon Abyss
And the echo
Divideth
My mortal launch,
Where the Angel of Death
Comes to me,
And begs me
Flip a coin,
For on these barren shores
We are All,
Each of us,
Alone,
An echo
Sliced clean,
By,
Excalibur.....
