A digital cut and paste poem that reads: I can find no rest. / I am a worm, / the wane. / into vain / scorn / and hissing / more hideous / end me! / degraded / drowned / In so obscure / a cipher / no remedy / , it disappears / in the lacunae / It is by now / an image recurring / a fruitless quest! / what has been its task? / to have been meteoric, / forget it. A / constricting / pressing, / open my eyes to nothing but / exhausting repetitions / instructions and exhortations. / Enormities / will walk by, / I carry on, / sound asleep.

Composed on the 22th of October 2025.

I intend to eventually revise the visual appearance of this one to be more in line with my newer work.
