One moment

 In a dream, spasms found me, deep and dread,

They woke in me a thirst for calm instead.

I rose with tears of terror, stark and wild,

Various voices in a meter, anxious, riled.


I searched for them but felt a blindness grow,

An employee in a circus of crippled woe,

Grieving for clown-lovers, lost in their art,

A philosopher in houses set apart.


I built them as another's stern command,

And measured a defeat across the land.

A bleeding silence struck me, sharp and clear,

As I stood stunned by irony divine and sheer.
