The opressant

Chocked, with a rope round my neck
I, I feel I cannot express the words that I
so desire to express – not one soul on the
Styx on which my jarred wrist lies, heeds my calls
as I write, am I right to receive an answer or
do I write to write, write a quip to
someone, someone may listen and sit, and
might impossibly understand. Tears are for the strong:
I am weakening.
Away into utter depravity, utter loneliness, what
good is it that I smile and wink and make the
rude, full-scale joke for the passing colours of
our time. You are the one who is falling away,
or is it I, who am I? Am I? Am I still? I hesitate
and blunder and err in the face of misfortune still,
that ghastly glimmer of the ghost agape with garrulous garrulity
is a waste – O but ev’ry word is mine, and only mine,
and I live for That! I live for living to love and be loved
and yet: is looking liking loving liking to look? It is
impossible to tell, or rather, I am impossible to tell -
much what I profess to you, dear reader, is what I
cannot tell. But I seek to tell, to learn, to discover: That.
