White Noise Lullaby


Look down beneath your feet
into the ashes of post calamity 


Welcome to the wreckage of me
buried deep beneath
this pile of smoldering defeat

Smothered in a heap of self pity
I seek respite
from this scorched self inflicted tragedy

And yet things could always be worse
as I soothe my soul
with time tested trite cliches

Pour your fallen comrade
a shot of Novocaine numbness

For at the end
of yet another disastrous day 
pain is the beast
that needs to be restrained
even if living in denial
is the only way
