<Prompt 22: Use at least three of the following words in a poem: ideogram, remora, casket, eclipse, selfie, wretch>

Four o’clock in the morning
and sleep has dwindled away
like the last drops of late rain

and that remora of remorse
attaches itself so tenderly
to the soft underbelly of the heart

feeding on you, feeding you,
leaving morning’s mark on the soul
like an ideogram for eclipse.
