A poignant and recent piece, i hope that it is reviewed. |
I gnaw this endless Brimstone, Rebellion is fashionable, It is not an embargo on injustice But nothing. Fading into nothing- Nothing or dead, Death it seems is justifiable But only, only, only, A taut and lonely Disownment. I have spoken too loudly, One word, the mobility of a marker- Adroit and abrasive, My hieroglyphics forged in white stone, Disowned by the first. And then pursuing applause, Spawned from a rigid gauze of convention. I know not why my face turns red Moves eyes that stare, dwindling retinas and the pupils of pupils. Which do I prefer? Those uniformed twins of which I am a gemination Or the azure pools in which I redden. Not me but blood diffusing in water, H2O, Terminology to be frank I know- A redundant currency. Megan Leitch |
