A Palinode In Between

Tales about the clock of Richard Cory,
his life is a story people choose these days
Cursed ways,
hidden smile and moon pains.
The chapters found in a book
those demons whose names are forgotten.
The flames that never die,
a solemn noise itching our silence
Earth’s quake in lonesome fires.
Collected notes with the Devil’s left hand
Power that suits each side.

Ruddapoet Rudolph
