Constellations are Cannibalized

Constellations are Cannibalized

A Poem by Onoma

Die at the mouth...live at the eyes...
days...white boxes bitten by black
mouths...nights.
Blood glitters silvery at the base of
a ravine...a night of blood--where
the body lay.
Covered by dismembered angel
wings...sleep...sleeplessness...horns
at sides.
Though there is no end...it is
finished--run through by living, a
vacuous send-off...with the promise
of more of it.
This is how constellations are
cannibalized...unanswerable prayers.

~ there's a very profound sadness in these lines... they pretty much remind me of my life... but i haven't given up... i'm trying to do justice to the life that's still alive in me... i try to hope... maybe justice lives in the fact that no one can take my hope from me... maybe...

~ it's always an absolute privilege to read you...
