"neverending decree"
Let's start this over,
unyielding belief,
of sorb not sober,
the drink relief,
Sips from my life,
in wavered cadence,
from my motion strife,
worn out patience.
The drinks on me,
pears and apricot,
lest ye wait to see,
for have not sought.
In moving sight,
dreams worn out pictures,
in loving stream like,
sutured fissure.
