I EXISTA Poem by anne
Tonight you are living
in the ruins of other people’s dreams. Sometimes in your sleep you can still hear the clapping of hands and teeth and bodies, two shadows saying you are theirs. And so it is. So you are. So you hand over your body, only this time it doesn’t shrink, this time it lays open like a wound, like an atlas with its layers and layers of places you could have lived and died in. This time you are a stage, this time you are filling a whole room, this time you are the one clapping in the back of their minds, you are the one screaming look at me, look at me, look at all of this everything in me. And so it is. So they do. © 2016 anneFeatured Review
