Two blank eyes, empty, motionless

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It was so simple A wrist and a knife Fist closed, teeth clenching Voices filling the air with angst The slash, the rip, drip, gush The scream, the panic, fumble, stumble Face in shock and horror’s descent of the end Towel, pressure, grab, pull, drag Ignition, screams, hostility, stupidity Hurried movement through the streets Speed, need, bleed, more Drip, soak, gush, splash Dandelions in July used to remind of ovaries The waiting for release, the renewal of birth It was simple The wanting to die to be living The wanting to sin to be forgiven Written January 10th, 2002 © on Jan 10 2002 10:36 AM PST   17 • 0 • 1
