In the shadows of a squalid room, where dust and decay entwine,
Blake, with vacant eyes, seeks elusive poetry, a thought so divine.
The wall, a witness to neglect, sheds dust upon his bed,
Expressionless, he contemplates, with turmoil in his head.
A notebook, forsaken on the floor, a battlefield for rats,
Their battle over rotten bread, a reflection of life's pained spats.
Blake intervenes, casting the loaf and rodents away,
Yet, 'Everything Shreds,' he scribes, a mantra for the disarray.
As a train rattles by, shaking his abode with disdain,
Dust cascades like sorrow, a relentless, gritty rain.
Unfazed, he writes, pen dancing on the page,
A narrative of desolation, an artist trapped in a cage.
The air thickens with the stench of urban strife,
Yet Blake persists, capturing the essence of a desperate life.
Amidst the cacophony of honks and traffic's cruel ruse,
He confronts his reflection, eyes reflecting an inner bruise.
In the mirror's gaze, a revelation unfolds,
Ten minutes of introspection, a story untold.
His eyes widen, a silent scream in the dark,
As he etches a new heading, leaving a poignant mark.
With a scratch, he erases, then rewrites the tale,
A declaration emerges, a truth set to assail.
"We Murder," the heading, etched in ink so stark,
A poetic confession, a journey through the dark.
