Replying to a comment on:
Birth, school, work and death. (Free verse) by darby pyn
I am kinetic and I scream for revenge. I am benign and
passive between the cleavage of my apathy. I am decoration
and I do what I am told. so promiscuous I am with
my consent I taper like a funnel and pour myself out
till nothing is left. my coda
is loose soil with no vestige of significance
to insure immortality. my name will have no memory
past the fragile circle of nepotism I call home.
itâs so heavy above and so lonely below while
the middle gets farther everyday. the creamy
filling of affirmation looses itâs sweetness when
the mirror hates itâs reflection and is shattered
by itâs honesty. I lost my voice in my war
with me and now suffer from asphyxia
just waiting for my horizontal atonement
beneath a nameless headstone in
a deserted pasture to be grazed upon
and start again. with my visceral sunset
on a green plain I will no longer
be an effigy but alive.
