Searching for me


It is searching for me
Inactively in what is alike me
Because it is too afraid to take the lead
Actively in what is not alike me
Because it is easy to sink into
It is searching for me desperately
In sweet high pitches that do not hold
It is waiting to be taken
Wishing its beauty to be stolen
But nothing does it
No more such lovely thieves
It is looking for me 
In tiny inanimate objects
Because they fit into hands
And can easily break
It keeps seeking me
Consciously and unconsciously
Like all the others
Which could never again find
That thing they failed to name

Terrified

 It was so desperately afraid

That I could see the colors of its fear's smell

Drawing pathetic caricatures of it

Around its own hunchback shape

In the utmost repellent fashion

It was so miserably scared

That immediately after 

Sleeping walking in heaven

Would awake and squirm into itself

Like a tiny poked armadillo

It was so terrified

That it took its dictionary

And rewrote the meaning of every word

That remotely related to the nature of its dread

It was so delusionally in panic

That it cemented itself in a tomb

In which it will slowly suffocate 

In incommunicable agony
