Your beak nuzzles my lungs
Chases my words as if a chill
Rides deep in my towering bones
Seals my lips as a sprain
With a stiffening anguish
My reserve is erratic at best
For I seek still the jar
The jar with its human sap
Its viscous amphibious masks
The price of anthropomorphism
Does not abate with practice
But grows and grows
Until I am wearing my smile
Stitched beneath my nose
Impassive as a scythe
I the chimera, the eidolon
The invoker of indolent fears
Will you betray me little bird?
Or shall I dance upon your grave
My heart being the perfect fit
For your delicate sentiments
An organic cage that feeds
Of itself for fear of company
How lonely I am and how long unseen
Strait as a Cypress for dread of sleep
Arrest not my eyes for my dreams
Are not so easily curbed as my thoughts
So much imagery, so much beauty in darkness. Love.
Thank you kindly!
Amazing Yves, using those words so well and so cleverly. Well done indeed. If one was a chimera I could well imagine the loneliness that would involve.
Thanks so much Michael
