It's time to get your tickets folks...

Bowing out

Can you feel it?

The world corrodes.

The lustre scuffed. Shine-dulled. Old.

Crumbled time erodes.

We who made it:

Amidst cock-crows

Of rusted trust, wine-filled souls

Stumbled psychic roads.

See who brave it:

The lurker knows

That lovers crossed, fine-filled fools,

Mumble platitudes.

Can you feel it?

The hurl-hacked trove

Of luck? Of lust? Smile-lulled? Now

Humbled. Song-failed.

Alone.
