Happy New Year! (keep taking the pills -
the prescribed, proscribed and magical blue
for chronic, acute and imagined ills).

what makes you feel stronger also kills,
and some 'worst nightmares' are doomed to come true.
Happy New Year! Keep taking the pills,
the prescribed, proscribed and magical blue.

November ushers in a depleted world - sunless days, starless nights, then sepia dawn, noonday skies stained like tarnished pearl.

November bequeaths us a dolorous world, sunless days, starless nights, a sepia dawn.

Fallen leaves litter the lawn, bare branches in monotone, every dream - another false dawn shrivelled leaves litter the lawn. Pixilated in soot and stone autumn fades like faith forsworn. Fallen leaves litter the lawn, branches sway in monotone.
