Rg

You were the frozen stalagmite Within my chest Feeding my breast with toxic streams Of unhappiness Many wandered into my cave, and Called you beautiful ... The waste of rocks, the bleeding Cancer of the land You made the hole that sucked The life blood of rivers From the potential fertility of plains You made strong mountains Porous with your constant seeping And dripping, and wasting The calcium milk of my strength You, my nemesis virulent My antagonist malevolent My chameleon serpent My jealous foe of evil intent You the spoiler of praise And the spurious twister of arguments O the earthquake shifted the land today This cave is full of light All your bats have flown to seek another night
