The sinews of my soul have been messily dissected
By the unsteady, wavering hand of depression
Each tender nerve frays as it’s carelessly bisected
White pillows, beeping, a rush of fluids in my arm. Oblivion.
It is the dawning of a new year, but I am stranded
In this room, awaiting the sentence, the doom, the judgment.
They put me down and replaced me.
Church is quiet today
People swaying with their hands in the air
Hymns and clapping are the usual way
To show how you love his name
Everyone here is moved by the spirit
Hard as steel,
A vicious love caress my ears,
A sound like a roaring dragon on mountain high,
Split the sky,
And if it were to be taken away,
With sword and spear I would ride,
I surround myself with things i love
Metal is one of them
Metal is my life
I see metal,
eat metal,
Speak metal,
Lift metal,
Hear metal,
Bend metal,
Beat metal,
Form metal,
Do you hate the way that our magnetized timesturn us all to metal shavings-- push and pull--charged eachday to fill up negative spacewith negative attraction?Were you repulsed when polarities
cling
for dear life
so you feel
comfortable
smile with desire
steal with entice
snake movement
beg for invite
and disease you hide up your sleave
with open door policy
The sliver of your soul
That I knew so wholly
Was forged below,
But ever so softly.
And fairly maid,
I cannot help but steal your love,
Or for your life,
Above the village flew the colors on the flag -
yellow, red, and black - and he wore them proudly here.
The young, bright face of Uganda,
with family to forever defend,
but with the curiosity of any other boy
