Cartilage and eidolon
This intractable womb
Scars on possession
A world too small
To accommodate
Forgiveness
*
“I” have become
The guilty party
Having exorcised
My ancestral demons
There is no one
Left to impeach
There is only me
Inmate orange
And truncheon’ed
A prisoner and guard
Coalesced
*
A cage fastened
By tremulous hands
To survive I slept
Year after year
Waiting for life
To become
My own
Waiting for a life
Above
Congenital defect
*
Now
A myna echoing
The heartache
Of a forfeited youth
I’ve the lost the key
And become the cipher
*
Cipher can mean code, alphabet, or nonessential person
After yesterday’s counseling I have found myself feeling very vulnerable. I have withdrawn emotionally even from myself so it was very difficult for me to write. There were just too many locked doors for me to produce anything that I was really happy with. I hope tomorrow the stress will ease and I will be able to write more freely if not I might go out and take photos instead of doing my usual daily poem hopefully you will forgive me if it comes to that. Please feel free to suggest some prompts for me in the comments it may help. On a really positive note yesterday I got 30 likes on a poem! I have never gotten 30 likes on any entry aside from my About and I feel that only cake will do to celebrate. So thank you!!!
