end of counterculture


it was during
long winter of mind
early mid twenties
discovering an unromantic end
to legacies of post-teenage frenzy

color has dissolved
back to black
grey undertones
eyes left with
thin film of disillusion

there were no minds of my generation
to be destroyed
they came pre-chewed unquestioning
in vain i looked
in madness i seethed and mourned

for that which had never
even been there
laying my gauntlet down
among the clover
looking at the sky no longer the river
