Plodding

Plodding

Enamel fails into dust under jaw
Tongue blending the fevered extract
Inner false fires with their dark heat
Evaporate emotions cataract

His temple’s only ancient gold hoard
Plundered with his own tired hand
Traded in a dismal alley for belief
Knowledge became a tarnished bland

Distance fades away a determined soul
Lank honest road without low or high
Forever feasting from past’s dirty bowl
Plodding furiously so willing to fly
