Shifty Clutter

By Vincent Van Zandvoort | Poetry / Prose | 4 Nov 2024

Shifty Clutter

The secret and the sickness
quelled a place inside of me.

Overlords of dark matter
hide pieces of sanity.

That was left after the war
when returning home to roost.

When you are realizing
your pure innocence was used.

Now, when it’s all said and done,
a lonely journey will start.

A tour for those last samples;
save a bit of soul and heart.

The capsules will buy you time.
Make the darkness disappear.

In a vault, protection lies
to forget that you were here.
