noW
"noW"
Let’s face it ...
I can’t string
an intelligent sentence
together,
apart from those
cast to feed sharks
in an affidavit.
sentences ... spent,
words and voices
caged, released
ah, well,
you’ve got your freedom
now
you walk the floors
of Freedom,
what you gonna do with it now?
Repatriate?
Confessions?
Reciprocate?
Sisters always
wear their Nun habits,
but nun in the mirror not so none
they think
they’re immaculate,
but I see right through them
lacking what
was missed in the womb
from the get go
they stole
what came
from mine -
go on
brush your teeth
in the mirror
the child watches on
while she pretends
to tap away at another life
grace given,
the strength in the child
from the mother came
given grace,
I’m the true mother
what were you expecting?
I leave her
move in the current
flow, unconditional;
Time moves in
rapidly.
what next, happens?
in the Final Chapter?
Palindrome?
Forgiven?
never odd nor even
noW,
well, noW
Time moves
its explicit way
towards you
Time moves on
eternal...
next life, a mission
with you, to avoid.
I leave her
move in the current
flow, unconditional;
noW
she sees me
in her mirror
in her mirror
she sees me
noW
