Veneers

Veneers-
Moisture absorbs into my mind
Where burns a hellfire wetland
Steam curtains so I cannot find
Never on guard, vistas unmanned
Walking across, searching for peace
Travels desperate with no souvenirs
This way out, this familiar caprice
Comfort, serenity, only slight veneers
Hunger unsatisfied for my place
Incarceration, somewhat to blame
Thirst uncontrolled with no taste
Burden’s laugh, I’ll handle this shame
