POEM


Cleave to misery, your sweet company. But only for a short time will it comfort me. Walk in darkness; who needs light? But it’s in the shadows where I lose fights.

Give yourself over to earthy sights. But indulgence in such things dims spiritual light. Quench that worldly thirst; go on, treat yourself. But then I will need saving from myself.
