| | Spasmodia. A murmur of incapacitation-- This trite, digestive feeling Has gone too far. You sigh, a wave Of memories, irreturnable events, “Try to sleep,” I whisper In admittedly depressive, Desperate tone. The stance, amiable, But the eyes are cold. You are a new doll-- Pretty, with sharply carved features. Roll back glass into the socket head, Searing, pointed, thread bites At the seams. It’s a sick convolution, But I cannot take the stare.
In media res, a convulsion in the land Of Spasmodia. March, one foot follows another Straight out of my frenzied arteries These broken-down capillaries Refuse to hold you anymore. What is with the sad conviction That this silence is providential? I fear someday a truce must occur. And what will you do then? You will talk pretty, singsong Like a bird with wings clipped. A paroxysm, the great disease You’ve ripped my life a gaping hole When I built yours a bridge.
The rooftops are tinged in white, I see Atop the hangman’s knotted tree I cling to my mistake. My dear, my darling daring-do Be glad for the escape. |
