angst cycle (iii) — [N] (xi)

there’s a depth of spikes
between me and the clear
i know as run to the calm
i will be bloodied

but at least
the depth of spikes
will be history

i can’t be enthused
to look up in any depth
(ho ho)
these times are going to be depressing
as they are required

at least
the hell
will be history
