I See A Stranger In You
I see a stranger in you.
Stood,
The death of a living.
The birth of a dead.
Dwell in this morning damp,
An indistinguishable riverbank.
Have you crossed that river?
My love—
Has this life frosted up your head?
Dwindled is the light.
Your eyes burnt black,
Cast that old staircase I used to dread,
Where the void of a mass creeped its hands over my back.
Night breathed by my neck.
How many times have you cried?
For a spider spun a web,
By the tail of your eyes,
Left thousands of preys,
Entangled,
A touch of death.
Tell me it is for love.
That love withstands,
The pull of fate,
The shove of age.
Like the clench of a jaw,
A burn from the ice.
Hissing,
The snake beneath the scalp.
Whispers beneath hell,
Lower than the fire on fire,
Darker than your shades in the womb.
A relic of the past,
A life before your silhouette
...
