Wayward Motions The bread crumbles
beneath my chapped
fingertips-
"All for one and one for all"
Gray strands of smoke seeps
into an empty corridor.
A lifeless statue haunts
a present past.
"Liberty and justice for all"
A drop of wine, slips from
my parched lips and falls to the
cemented floor.
"Do this in remembrance of me"
An ancient artifact lies half
burned beneath a layer of dust.
Black lust smeared over blood
and blue, and just a speck
of bone white shows through.
"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary"
Time threatens the existence
of this place.
Smiles become wrinkles,
Tears turn to memories,
Hair is worn thin.
A bell without a tongue
lies deserted in this
cacophonic tomb.
It is the epitaph longed
to be read.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all humans were created to love."
