last days on Earth...

an overwhelming darkness
invades me in torrents
of lime and lemon ...

crushed by a river of rocks
burning like volcano lava
hot as a Carolina Reaper ...

I do not know where to direct my galleon,
I do not even know if I want to know
lost that is my destiny ...

only Charon on the crossing of the River Styx
promise me the peace that life denied me,
a bitterness so deep it must have been ...
