Lacey's pick

-


It might be lonelierWithout the Loneliness -I'm so accustomed to my Fate -Perhaps the Other - Peace -
Would interrupt the Dark -And crowd the little Room -Too scant - by Cubits - to containThe Sacrament - of Him -
I am not used to Hope -It might intrude opon -It's sweet parade - blaspheme the place -Ordained to Suffering -
It might be easierTo fail - with Land in Sight -Than gain - my Blue Peninsula -To perish - of Delight -
