Analysis of Last Call
My shadow was crying out to me
beyond all darkness and light
Saying that life is a trap in reverse
caught between wrong and right
Dichotomy claims what polarity feigns
academics locking the gate
Where shadows crawl under what locks in our fear
—abandoning us to fate
(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)
