I am shamed.
I hold nothing.
I dance unseen clenching
orchids in my teeth
dragging opium and roses
from a lazy breath
toes tired gasping ankle
withering sad chord
unable to heal.
Out of step,
Out of time,
Out of speed.
I am left to wander out and venture in
the sin of it, the sin of it is
This.
That I never stood in awe
of myself without drowing my desire
that I never let anyone
say love you are lovely.
Somehow, I never held anything
without gutting it alive
and I never gave anything
without leaching the blood
and powdering the bones.
Deeply
and utterly
far deep down and gone
shadow fed to flame
crossed out and shamed.
