Untangle the hay
that got into your hair
Remove the splinters
that dug under your skin
Slowly pull out the
gun given to you
Aim it in the air
Count to 10
And maybe a bird
won't pass by

Tell me
silent sinister
what have you
to offer?

A deed built upon
the bricks
of unfortunate
pasts

A smile
that withers
like the rose that
foresaw my death

Tell me
silent sinister
is this what
you offer?

The whisper that brings
shivers
to my spine
has forgotten
the
mystery of
you
Modien May 2019
My foreign sight for the
painful
has undone the
beautiful
Exoticizing
beauty
and
pain
Never have I felt the
softness of
cut glass
slide through my
cheek

Let the rain wash over my sadness and baptize me with a pain so foreign that I'd mistake it as an angel's kiss

Will the clouds cry dry tears for me when they see my soul wandering hopefully in the painful sunlight that has burned my skin
Will the sun open its eyes to my presence in its heat fulfilling the life it so wanted for me, the life that the moon has reflected in my eyes
The life that the stars bore of beauty, the life that is ashes to my wants and needs
Will the water of this earth drown in liquid beauty if it loses a thornbush
The water of our rivers that flow to wash away the life it gave
Modien Apr 2019
Tell me
silent sinister
what have you to offer
thy name
thy God
thy trespasser?
