Revelations

in the final days of my occupation

I handled facets of truth like a jeweler

arranged them in space like an architect

when I was done I closed my eyes

(I knew I had lied)

there was silence

then a flash of lightning that I saw through my eyelids

and thunderous applause

stars hailed from the sky

(this I felt

by the cuts on my skin)

the moon crashed into the horizon

(this I heard

by the tremor of my heart)

the night became black

(this I knew

by the sinking of my spirit)

the people were struck by awe and blindness

they said my work was a revelation

and so it was

Asphyxia

we kiss

- only exchanging gibberish

cold and true

sad and worthless -

feeling my lips curl

I close my eyes and disconnect

- you breathe into my mouth

and I exhale nothingness

again and again -

asphyxia is slow

but death is swift

- you were in love

and I am sorry

Rainy Days

if the sun shined I would shower and cry,

but it is raining,

so my hair is wet and my face is wet,

and I smile.

Colder

its colder in here

than out there dont enter dont

enter please dont
