InfiniteA Poem by Nadia ZahranSinfully accepting the hate Broken mirrors of condescendence Pressing my body down because it’s my fate Teal skin under severed blood Bars holding back grinding teeth As the sea salt in your bed causes a flood Diseased by your mumbling lips Toxic to the taste Intoxicating trips Molesting your inner being For these traits kill you Screeching as your tongue slits and sings Carving your only white blood cell You don’t need to speak It’s your body that you sell Red sequin waves above my face Delirious to the sound Using codeine to explain your case Violent permanence clips your nails Cigarette butts burning your skin Everything we led up to fails Touching your defiled skin Gently grazing your vein-less arms So different from my skin I can’t see the sin in it And in that moment We were infinite © 2017 Nadia Zahran |
