Tar
Nothing will remain un-inked; Wounds bleed and
feelings can kill
and that is why
everything must spill.
I can't keep this pent up fire
caged inside my mouth,
the anger, the unfairness of it all
erodes my teeth.
Your medicine wasn't
medicine at all;
more like subtle attempts of mutilation than a velleity.
And your arms felt like home,
until all love left them,
and they felt like smoke
enveloping me;
you never made it easier to live,
right next to you I couldn't breathe.
I will not miss you because
there is no place safer than
inside the skin
I've slowly learned to love,
inside eroding flesh, eroding cells.
Someday I will possess
a brand new vessel,
a stranger to your hell.
And when you'll come knocking
Your utterances will have no gravity;
You cannot heal scars
with a mouth that exhales tar.
You exhale and what your breath touches falls prey to decay -
I wish to remain.
