Mama

In a dream,

she follows me towards

The crevice of the world.

 

My mother, indigo raging

like a sharp scream within my brain.

 

I would never rid of her peculiar grin.

Her smirk, a missile, seeks out

the errors of my ways.

 

But life after cunning life,

She finds me settling at the root

then cuts me off.

 

I sit sustained here

in the moment composed

and waiting on her return.

 

She is the real culprit

of my shadow.

And knows this strange abyss.

 

I choose to keep her away

In the silence between my breath

To begin loving her from afar.

 

In hopes that she will one day

find herself without a curse

And out of her mad little box.
