We Will Scream Together

Managing his guilts to seduce the nocturnes
he left the gray area, surging
with a wandering death on the
half broken stairs –
before a closed gate was put on the pages
trembling like toothed quaking aspen.

The grief of the scarred face,
in a serious midnight syndrome of
invisible slit throat in a long journey
above the waves. Tree was calling again
for immoralism of flowers, quashing
his life.

The brave violence survives the mutilated
dreams.For once the mirror has won
again the onslaught of fingers.

This is so full of depth and introspection. It was horrifying, and yet....strong and powerful. Best wishes, Sara

I feel like I'm slowly turning the pages of a guilded book filled with mysterious things I can't quite tie together. Every time I read it, I get a little closer. Really enjoyed the process. Thanks for sharing.

this has a very profound quality to it which makes one read the poem over and over to see if one has missed anything. good work.
