Necromancer 

Where is that soliloquy of dissent
Fossils of triumph and assent
My buried determination unblinking

Where are the bones of my skeleton
Arcade and trusses and scaffolding
Holding me head to the sky

Where are the hallucinations
Painted mirages flickering
Fantasies drawing me across the desert

Where is the necromancer
That will brush away ennui and dust
Or must I resurrect me

-T. Weeks
