I Have No Enemy Except

There is nothing wrong with me
Besides the curve of my bones
And the curve of my two eyes.

There is nothing wrong with earth
Besides the razors on pine
The falling of the downfall.

On Sunday, I like to kill myself
On Monday, I plan my next death.
I have no enemy except

The curving of my hollow spine.
I have no enemy except
The hollow of my own, hollow eye.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
