less
Saturday, March 11th, 2006she bathes with the dullest colours,
the bullet shells screens a notice that their war is in suspense, if not over.
heaven’s in a grudge, so she ends with crutches.
her people wont budge, her face is unclear like them
she sings to them, and they keep silent,
it stings god how he’s designed helpless. painless. numb, static and shamed.
how he is no different, the promised return that never came.
keep off my shoulder, so she scrapes her lips.
its blibical, the new life concieved faces down, thinner hips,
poisoned tips and shit jokes,
she swallows her words. and her epiphany chokes.
she points her finger in comfort,
she feels like us, guilty by birth, filthy and insecure,
to care’s a duty, so she fucks her chores with crotchets and rests,
sex, mary and apples so she feels like the rest, less.
less.
