GRAVE END

Tammi Browne-Bannister


Twilight creeps upon the walls.
Fires extinguish while the rain falls.
Hell opens up her mind, to keep the talents
of mankind. Here lies the wealthiest place on earth,
Midas dreams concealed in dirt, where no soul is above
the other, but all find themselves at the mercy of a Higher Power.
