Gloom (poem)

Blueberries gaping out of a black and white mug
chiseled scraped clouds
dissemination of a halo
Gloom!

Persecution of a perspective
Shallow intercepts of void
the eyes don’t pop up on wit
Gloom!

Smile or a facade?
promiscuous promises
no more churlish fantasies
Gloom!

With a bang of sorts
exuberance of a victim
vivid experiences of certainties
Gloom!

No voice that sounds like the ocean
a vacuum in reason
a virtuous moral man
Gloom!
