Flecking in dampness of time
Sullenness of relationship
Rhetoric of mawkishness
A retreat not unwanted
In the sparseness of content
Unassuming in dimension
Insatiably soused in greed
Optimism dyed in melancholy
In raw land of desolation
Sprigs of hope lie in isolation
Effete in softness of spirit
Waiting has turned sublime.
