for obscurity\u2019s sake
\nthe meaning should be clear, flowing

He disliked
\npretenders, creating
\ndeceitful characters to suffer ignoble deaths
\nHe died wearing another man\u2019s clothes
\nand yelling \u201cReynolds!\u201d<\/p>\n
The first to live by his pen alone
\nhe suffered, as we do
\nlosing his only love to a burst blood vessel in her throat<\/p>\n
He was seeking
\nsomething, the meaning
\nbeneath, within, above
\nbut he hated
\ntranscendentalists, and wrote
\nonly in careful, measured
\nbeats<\/p>\n
\u201cLord help my poor soul\u201d
\nhe whispered when he finally saw the darkness
\nbeyond the door<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
