Ennui

August 11, 08

A fore-seen fog
Prevailing mental facades,
Uprooting life itself to envelop-
But not kill for there is no death-
Predicted for you,

Unconsciousness like no other,
Seeing without the eyes
Staring but not interpreting,
For that takes the steel allegiance
Of eager perception.

Taking roughed with bleeding tongues,
To walls of breaking down to paint,
"Like a gypsy chasing freedom-
The colours chase the sun!"
Unlikely for me to do.

-Inspired by Sylvia Plath's "Ennui"
