BURIAL FACE
By james a. galgano

UPSIDE DOWN PERPENDICULAR TO SOME WANDERING FLAME
WHICH FAILS AGE OF FLEEING EYES YET WILL FOREVER REMAIN
A FOOTPRINT UPON TIME LOOKING BACK AND CAUTIOUSLY AHEAD UNEXPLAINED
WHERE TOMORROW WINKS IN PAIN OR IN A MEMORBALE SMILE ATHUNDER
ALL THE WAKING WHILE ONE WILL FOREVER IN DREAM OR WONDER
WHY WHAT MISCREANT DEITY HAS DRAWN US SO HASTILY TOGETHER
IS SO UNFORTUNATELY TORN ASUNDER FOR REASONS ILL-DESIGNED INCLEMENT WEATHER
WHETHER IF THERE WAS NO CREATED GOD AVAILABLE TO CLEARLY DEFINED
SOME CLEARLY DRAWN PATH FROM HERE TO ETERNITY IN SOME AFTERMATH INEVITABLY RESIGNED
THERE STILL SILENT VOICES SING TO SOME INFINITE FLAME ETERNAL RAISED
TO WHICH VERSE IS AWKWARDLY CONJUGATED TO DEVOUTLY SING IN PRAISE
WHAT WAS LEFT IN THE BACK OF AGING MINDS TO STILL AMAZE OR CURSE
A THOUGHT AS IF A SEED WHERE DREAMS WILL BE EVER FOUND TO CONVERSE
UPON IMPENDING NIGHT WHERE ONE'S OWN UNFORTUNATE FUTURE REMAINS TONIGHT
FOREVER BOUND WITHIN THE MEMORY OF DISTANT CHAINS INTO SOME GOD GIVEN NIGHT
