The burden of the broken stones
Weigh heavy on the mind
Whitecapped waves crest and foam
But cannot wash away the crime
Building blocks to small to see
Poisoned the whole of the base
Years of neglect have now captured me
As I slow to a crawl in my pace
Hindsight lends no healing sauve
For this conjured soul of the damned
Only regret of a dying wretch
As I crumble into sinking sand
A cold stone down-right poem!
