Future Signs

arriving to shun that wolf
on your blood’s trail,
you comb through rubble,
tormented :

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

        
          glimpse of fear,
fixated at otherness of yellow sin,
threatened, panic white,
         suicide note;
now you have come out from your tremors
         stillborn, sine die

………………………………………………………………………………

with umbilical cord around your neck,
          squeezing,
          choking,
after shocks settling on interrogator :
I am running aground in deep waters

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

and your body becomes a boat
of terror, disbelief, later a collaboration
with seeds and birds, this smelt side
of truths, I regret my art
