for darkling thought
destroys and rues the
day that set its course.
for darkling thought,

for what could she do
people swarming her
left her in the dust
where she lies in wait of death.
people swarming her,
the one who they left behind
where she lies in wait of death—
people not searching for her corpse.
the one who they left behind
destroys and rues the
people not searching for her corpse—
she drapes me with cause.
