Repulsion

What do you see -
The dying wall
Or flying wings?
What do you take in -
Through your breath
Through your skin?
What's on your mind -
The twitchy veins
Or wrinkled leather?
Where have you been?

All alone.
Oiled in fear.
No stains.
But old scratches
Of repulsion.

Home

I dwell in those emotions

In your knowledge of my existence

In those tears not demanded

Within those suffocating fears

Beneath the pillow

Inside scattered vowels

Enclosed and sealed forever.
