In Delinquent Shadows

Somewhere,

wrapped in delinquent shadows

there lies a single sense,
lonely,
drenched in sorrows.

And if you listen,
it sounds like thunderous king
whispering like an expectant lover
or a self-uncertain
adolescent thing-

a son of God
were it not a fatherless welp.

Sometimes that part of us does sing,
and each indecipherable note
on every insurmountable weakness

plays panoply with our minds
and shuts me out.

I would know this,
I would stretch myself

asunder

to grasp what I am trying to say,
bridge the painstaking divorce
between heart and mind,

I feel it,
I taste it,
I dream it,

but-
not unlike you,

I simply just don't know.
