Michael Patrick Hunt

Midnight's tears
Fall upon the empyrean veil
Drowning the city's roar
Buried so far below
...

Upon the streets
Leading nowhere
Where wind and rain
Erase the sands of time
...

I am the wraith
In your misty eyes
Vagarious entity within
I metamorphasize
...

Here we remain
In the splendor of the frost
An ephemeral dream
As the sky dissolves
...

Echoes of the foreign trigger
Cascade through the children's ears
And the scholars' tongues
Content in their indoctrination
...

Stygian shadows wander through the woods
Phantoms bereaved in the early dawn
A myriad of lost words
Calling to the wind
...
