Resurrected

Breathing stigma
a failed answer brings
an avalanche of questions.

Milk and cereals
were abandoned
ceding the hunger.

The inside war
was reflecting in the
contour of eyes.

A hypergraphia was
making a genius out
of rags.

Burn my candle, burn,
out of the dark
a pierced art was becoming a miracle.
