Indoors

Today,
small things ask some uncomfortable
questions. I enter the eye of a wound.

Unscathed, will i obey the law
of believing ; the round mirror?
It reflects the absolute truth?

Consolations,
they begin the attack in the valley
of thoughts ; words, were hung
over the paper, spill the ink

like blood on the street.
Who will lift the corpse?

Words on the wings ;
let them drop
like stones, like knives. The flesh is raw,
bones white a century is going to sing.
