All the World is Drowning
by A.F. Stewart

Coiling grey mist descends the mountain,
enshrouding an inevitable corroded touch
and settling against the unremembered;
poisoning the existence of echoing ghosts

Enshrouding an inevitable corroded touch,
those fractured tears from a thousand fools
banging within the walls of their private hell

and settling against the unremembered,
filling mnemonic wells to the overflowing brim,
submerging the final sunshine of hope

Poisoning the existence of echoing ghosts;
voices reverberating with monumental regret
always drowning, ever drowning in death
