Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

I used to make him promise that he would not abandon me. He gave it twenty times, that lover’s promise. It was as frivolous as my saying to him:
‘I understand you.’

'And with the eschaton of closing time
they say a great gleam of softest light will fall.
And our children's faceless children
will form a circle around us, holding hands.
And they will watch us all, opaque-eyed,
sinking together, one by one, bubbling down.'

I can’t imagine a better pairing than a glass of absinthe and the mesmerizing Night Terror’s anthology (published by @AcidBathPub), in which you’ll find work that is nothing short of intoxicating. To whet your louche appetites, here’s one of three poems I have in this collection:
