overnight in the underground
paranoia is a dangerous thing
unpredictable & delirious
like a deadly spider in a dream
there are no photographs to be kept
either having been burned
or lost to the forest
taproots turning them into new
memories for the dead
fear the dark knight
the rider of your subconscious
galloping full speed in the darkness
consumed by the fog of war
& willing to die by the sword
march two thousand twenty-two
