Gloom
…rests under the surface
a leeching pool of bacteria
from a break in the crust
too many years ago to remember.
…ferments under the surface
a seething pot of details
dripping from this and that,
and mostly thats,
filling keg after keg after keg.
Gloom saps these legs of the fortitude
that would find the plug
free the dam
drain the swamp.
