I have dressed myself
In her velvet shadows
She the madness
Complicit to my art
The mother of all regrets
The vixen whose scorn
Curdles blood and ink alike
She is my jailer
Beneath her myriad forms
I have known a solace of sorts
A solace bred in obsession
*
A galaxy unto myself,
Planets and stars extinguished
Architecture and dreams
I gather at the seams
Nesting molecule after molecule
Into the same grim chasms
Replacing a necessary space
With substance
Small but ponderous
I grow indomitable
In my loneliness
