Scratching stones of another old wall,
Traversing a landscape of mutable bleakness,

Travelling among this shiftless substance,
Sailing a wind borne of wasted breath,
Destinations deliberate happenstance,
A circumvential journey beginning at death.

You seem to be missing a syllable for the last line in the second stanza, no?

Was thinking "Blinking in the eye of a horror-squall" or "Blinking the eye inside a horror-squall" might work, but maybe I'm getting the beat down wrong.

Don't mean to be an ass I just mentally slipped on that line when reading it.

Very good, otherwise (and I may be wrong about the above) - nicely original word-combos.

I guess I fucked it up in that I was assigning an eye to a squall like one would a hurricane. But then I'd have to change the second line to "Snorting lines of old cocaine" and while semi-autobiographical, it surrenders somewhat of the imagery I was shooting for.

Otherwise, thanks! And it summoned a /mc as a bonus!
