Remove
By bonnie blue
Remove this tumor This strangle of pain That chokes my breath And makes me wish for death An end to sorrow I’ve tried to live with it But it demands too much of me Pluck out this stone This ruddy boulder That burns my brain Till I absorb its stain I slept with it for years But it only wants to smother me With its weight Cut from me this growth This false appendage That feigns intention To claim the blood of glory But leaves me wanting and broken Not least, alone Shave off this hair This layer of hiding That fails to shield me From swords of repugnance Reveal my sin Reveal my beauty Absolve my guilt In my own undoing… Bonnie Cook 12-Apr-02 Written April 12th, 2002 © on Apr 12 2002 03:49 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
