I don't know how you found me But here we are Full of wind Your skin is glazed in a wreath of dust You are amazingly void of entry wounds You're the other side of me And as i lay on this hospital bed Sides split, raw wounds Thorns now replacing the opening I can count the railings of my cage And like we agreed There is one missing
The king and I went out to survey the land Nothing but dumb, beautiful, animals They didn't use our tongue Making conversation bare, and minimal You were the answer
Even though you laid, muted by the moist clay Still a gesture in a shallow grave of dirt I could visualize you Closer, like another side of me
But maybe, with regret As you came about Your beauty shone Like the dark side of the moon A dark reflection you were, at best.
