Sworn

Bruised like I went through a brutal hazing for you

Now what I do is what a mason do

Blindfolded, walked into the room masked asked

Who are you, intruder

Wasn’t sure if the mood was intended

A lunar interlude, the moon shining through

A presentiment of midnight mischief, steep ascent

Three day descent, prescient coffin motifs

Lid I’m pressing on won’t budge, no release

No surcease from grief in here, what’s really me

And what’s just fear, I died in here yet rise clear-eyed

Light previously denied me knights me, uprights me.
