Ennui
your thoughts push me past
—the breaking point—
—the point of no return
to the start of the labyrinth
with no exit—
no man’s land—
I try to return in reverse
but I cannot:
I am chained to the arid ground,
fruitless and unfertile
of what I tried to escape
all these years
yet seek hopelessly now—
the old Babylonian Harlot’s
chains chain me:
I am your prisoner
