Sequestration of the Soul

The dew has been banished from the grass
And the pups taken from the teet.

A drunk is lacking hard drink. 

Like a television without a picture tube
Longing stares itself in the mirror, feeling, but
Denying its very existence while arrogance

Wants to scream from within.
