The Yarn I Am InA Poem by Nick PatrickHalf awake I see the future Past slowly becoming the suture To mend and make amends Some guiding light, it depends On my vascularized essence So full of holes in all its presence To speak and have carried shame Upon my conception with onward blame To be lost in an pit of confusion And give my soul an utter contusion By walking blind in a place of sight Attempting speech as hard as I might Tearing
off the skin I’ve been wearing Screaming
in agony at a nameless pairing Please,
wash my organs clean with a cleaver Destroy
the ruthless, insurmountable fever I lay
naked in an eternity of yearning For
this bodily obsession, waiting, concerning But it
will never happen nor has ever been I’m all
bungled up in this yarn I am in © 2012 Nick Patrick |
