Lacuna

Deep, deep, deep
These claws dig deep, deep, deep
Into the soul.
Shadow waters, fathomless laguna—
A black hole,
The lacuna.

But tacenda, tacenda,
Painting the hoax enthusiast.
The quiet lament. The
Eccendentiast
Chasing flicker after flicker,
Knows no fika, fika—
All too fast, never a last.

Where art thou, querencia?
Sunk deep into the ravenous void.
Give me strength, a home, where I may quench. A
Finite life, the end, past the quatervois.
The parade of the faithless, the godless—
In their hands, no excess;
Behold bodies clothed in melancholy bareness.
