My life to brass tacks

Down to brass tacks

Beneath marble, harsh stone

Obsidian pillar of me, idiot bard self-marvelling

Little regarding what retards my targeting truth

Far from the thing’s root, suited hued in soot

One foot in front another, marching to the crypt

Clad black dressed for death you never know when

No breath or tomorrow promised, no minute next 

What questions beg these vexatious verses.
