The light was unexpected Frightful Its debut was never foreseen Arbitrary fear She is unable to open her eyes without Fear of the light’s departure, What is the dove never flies again? Or the wind ceases to soothe? Of the bars of her rotting cage Disintegrate But her eyes don’t understand that She is free? The cage remains Indefinitely defining immobility, Self-suffocation Hands frozen around her face And all she is able to see is Her broken reflection And him, unidentified and without identity, Abandoning her To a ceaseless cycle

The Light was Unexpected
The light was unexpected Frightful Its debut was never foreseen Arbitrary fear She is unable to open her eyes without Fear of the light’s departure, What is the dove never flies again? Or the wind ceases to soothe? Of the bars of her rotting cage Disintegrate But her eyes don’t understand that She is free? The cage remains Indefinitely defining immobility, Self-suffocation Hands frozen around her face And all she is able to see is Her broken reflection And him, unidentified and without identity, Abandoning her To a ceaseless cycle
