I Search Myself Within Skeletons

I I search myself within skeletons closeted sunshine Sick from love laughing leers sick from tired lessons lesions clichés Sick from smug smart snooty soldiers in a war without enemies Slaying hope light flashed in the whisper of a child’s heart I beg for the dream again when magic was sown in my soul II Now only the outside answers nature wind My mind suffocates secrets suffered slow Pitching prayers in the dark room empty Lights stretch snips of longing on the split wall In corners perfumes perform mirrored operas III The monster changes the law and sows lands In dust time will be a new hand reaching back Deserts will bloom gospels pouring beatitudes Walking religiously toward the thrilling purple sun Night is a bath of stars boiling life and lust spinning
