Ambush

 

Grey descends on me

like a tumulus disguising a hurricane

waiting to appropriate the remnants

of my self respect

 

Apathy has allowed

an infestation of squalid judgment

and encompasses all the negative clichés

ever scribed in ignorance

 

I have mismanaged

thus accumulated far too much dust

and the clutter that surrounds me

assaults as it goads with spiteful verve

 

It was effortless to submit to its persuasion

with white-feathered indifference

as if in compliance

to an unholy and meaningless vocation

 

I can only wait

for this infrequent of storms to dissipate

and with clearer thought

prepare for the next ambush
