Returning Favour

Will pursue
the star killed by a limb.
A black hole
is going to devour him.

What was ahead now
in the sea of reverse pain ? 
You were knocking out
your own creation.   

In the hunger’s wake
will you stop eating your own
words and say something
of the locked doors of eyes ?

I cannot sing the scars
and unmask the fires.
It is gratifying when you are silent,
and still you are heard.
