Instance


Is this one more instance
Of that same old gist of myself?
Transmutated from memories 
Projecting an embodiment
Which at first, seemed far
Now all around, inside and out
Insideout, out of true sight
And it shines, clean, clear
Shivers me with purity
 Is it that false hope
Of one desired exception?
She fights to send it away
Doubts, tricks, sets-up 
But here, there, anywhere
The ugly or the beautiful
When sweet or when bitter
Tastes worse, tastes weaker




Lurking

Drowning in a stream of fuzzy thoughts
Drag the dead out of their tombs
Every time, after I doubt 
The nature of what I see
And the sobriety of my tongue  
While they rotten slowly
And I watch and rewatch 
These shows of decomposition 
Whatever she came to promise
I don't have it
I'm dry, overflowing powder
To suffocate her pervasiveness 
While she does nothing but collecting flowers 
In a dark room, as they suffocate 
Just for aromatization
 I poke holes and carve bruises
Smothering her silly fairy-tale words 
Which deviate me from my path
All I ask is do not listen
Do not forget I'll always be here
Lurking and conspiring
Compulsively digging my way out
