I wander around with my
feet of clay and winged heels.
Often I am so
self-conscious as to pretend nothing has happened. Sometimes
it’s like you’d prefer the lie to the truth, maybe perhaps you
do. Whatever it makes for you (my tongue slowly swells with the
weight of the unspoken) I hope you find yourself happier now
(arrogance once forsaken is never forgiven).
I tipped over the world one day to
see the worms inside the earth and I wondered for their single-minded
purpose. If life were so simple as finding the next bit of earth to
chew, maybe this wouldn’t hurt so much.
Maybe it’s time we went to the
worms to find out how dead we really are (they crawl within my veins
and make me squirm with infected desire). Or maybe it’s time (all
I see is purple) to move on and find another metaphor to be
compared to.
(all you see is blue) And I trust you’ll understand.
They always do, in the end.
Is this the end?
My tongue has burst…
