Clueless silhouette
By Joni Hendry
 
Standing on the edge
of a silent abyss, observing
spreading darkness.
Unforgettable gray matter
explodes into dust that stifles,
suspended freely in choking death.

The fog grows thicker
suffocating us,
illusions collide
to cold pavement below.
Half beliefs swirl,
a black mask of jumbled empathy
spitting phlegm,
shrouding the crowds.
