Naked TestamentA Poem by Penulis KecilJust something cobbled together about denial.Your walls are crumbling.
In the night you paper them up, a mess of journaling filling the spaces; sheets scribbled over and coated in dreams pressed together, plastered in sealant, ink stains spreading into the places you painted the cracks;
like a tribute to denial as though belief can sustain a fragile balance, resurrect fragments sunk in earth, your so-solid walls are lies, pillars to the slings of arrows dashed upon their boundaries and all your DIY improvements nothing but naked testament.
Still, all the while, you go on filling and plastering and simply pretend it doesn't show. © 2011 Penulis KecilAuthor's Note
