That Downward Slide

by Joe Cramer

That downward slide

Into the depths of depression.

The misery, the agony,

The desparate despair,

Into the heart of darkness.

Depression strikes again

Swift as a coiled snake

Deep into my heart

The consumation of my soul.

When will it end?

03/12/1989

Author's Note: I had been reading Joseph Conrad...
