i don't know where the light is so i'm just gonna goA Poem by Irma ChavezApproach madness with caution like cat, for the prize is my head, as the warning of flames overlook- void all the make up applied, even black tarnished rags self describe- the missing peace of this night. Pool of dark to slow my bones down, prescribed thundering clouds disturb Not the stillness of my red thorny crown; Five opposing points reach out, apex buried in physical ground. And once more I come close, seeking monsters, buried within the dungeon of time, barricaded by something so subtle, as if imagined. But I just can’t help myself, I yell back as I run, when the feeling reveals his hideous face inside me. Run, jump, fly flight of the bees, bees! Bees! Being chased by dangerous company, ee, ee. In my throat gather malignant squeals like when a child while playing kills his pet mouse; I did wear his promise ring’s cheap imitation. After many days locked up in my closet’s chest, the deadly spirit had escaped me and dragged me unconsciously out to seek the scent of dead men to awaken my slumbering pain" HERE I AM! And once more dark was turned inside out. Catastrophe weakened my knees in a flash as he reached up from the ground, his living disease I had a quick chance to breath in, then I ran. © 2013 Irma Chavez |
